Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stonecrouch
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an old fan that needs replacing, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
In a small place like Stonecrouch, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Stonecrouch
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If a fan fails in Stonecrouch at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What extract fan repair looks like in Stonecrouch
Look up Stonecrouch on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stonecrouch. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Stonecrouch. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Stonecrouch is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Stonecrouch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Stonecrouch
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stonecrouch?
Kitchens in Stonecrouch are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you cover smaller places like Stonecrouch?
Yes, Stonecrouch is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We’ll take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
