How we handle extract fan repair in Stoneyhills
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a dead fan motor and poor airflow at the canopy, on fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Stoneyhills gets to the real cause. With notice, the visit to Stoneyhills can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Stoneyhills questions
Can you get to a site in Stoneyhills?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stoneyhills is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Stoneyhills?
Day or night, a failed fan in Stoneyhills can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When a fan fails in Stoneyhills
Food Standards Agency records list about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stoneyhills. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 40 miles out from central London, Stoneyhills is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Stoneyhills get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a kitchen close to Burnham-On-Crouch station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Ormiston Rivers Academy or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Common problems we fix in Stoneyhills
Fans everywhere, Stoneyhills included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Stoneyhills, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What else we do in Stoneyhills
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy 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 early attention pays.
