Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stonehill
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an overheating extract motor, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
A callout to a small place like Stonehill goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair around Stonehill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Stonehill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Stonehill is about 22 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. In Stonehill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stonehill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Common problems we fix in Stonehill
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Salesian School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work 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 Stonehill.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

FAQs for Stonehill
Can you come to Stonehill after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Stonehill keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Stonehill?
Stonehill is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
