About our extract fan repair in Stonehills
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Stonehills, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When a fan fails in Stonehills
The coast is only about 1 mile from Stonehills. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Stonehills and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Stonehills get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Stonehills, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. For school kitchens, at schools like Fawley Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stonehills before we set off.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

FAQs for Stonehills
Which council inspects kitchens in Stonehills?
The local authority for Stonehills is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will you come out to Stonehills?
Yes, Stonehills is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
