Your questions about extract fan repair in Stonegate
Can you work in Stonegate outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Stonegate keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stonegate?
That’s Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stonegate. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stonegate
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We are often asked to deal with a squealing belt on start-up and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Stonegate, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Extract fans in Stonegate

Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

More services for Stonegate
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stonegate.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Stonegate
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Stonegate, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What affects the quote in Stonegate
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
