When a fan fails in Stroud Common
Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Stroud Common. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Stroud Common is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you manage a school such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Extract fan repair in Stroud Common, done properly
Working on a fan in Stroud Common means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Common call-outs are for a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Stroud Common, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stroud Common run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
Stroud Common: your questions answered
Can you work in Stroud Common outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stroud Common doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will you come out to Stroud Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stroud Common is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Stroud Common
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stroud Common, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stroud Common
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
