Extract fan repair in Stubbings, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that has stopped working, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Stubbings, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Stubbings: your questions answered
Can the work in Stubbings be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Stubbings can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Stubbings?
Yes, Stubbings is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. The timing of a visit to Stubbings is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When to call us in Stubbings
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A dead fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, rather than mid-term.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Planning a trip to Stubbings ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with photos after every visit

When a fan fails in Stubbings
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Stubbings. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. About 29 miles out from central London, Stubbings is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Stubbings, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near Church of St. James the Less, or anywhere around Stubbings, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Local landmarks in Stubbings
Around Stubbings, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Newlands Girls' School and The Crown pub. For rail, the closest station is Furze Platt station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre. A little further out are St Mark's Hospital (1.4 miles east) and Marlow Museum (2.8 miles north). Open spaces near Stubbings include Taplow Lake and Carpenter's Wood.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
