Extract fan repair in Stones Green
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Stones Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common questions in Stones Green
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Stones Green out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Stones Green is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the sea air around Stones Green make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Stones Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

What else we do in Stones Green
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Stones Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Stones Green
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An overheating extract motor
If you manage a school such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
