How we handle extract fan repair in The Stocks
Wherever your kitchen is in The Stocks, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. 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. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like The Stocks, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to The Stocks is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We’re fully insured

Extract fans in The Stocks
Food hygiene inspections in The Stocks are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 49 miles out from central London, The Stocks is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in The Stocks, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
The Stocks is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of The Stocks to the outskirts, we cover extract fan repair for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. The Stocks is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for commercial clients. Maidstone is in our area too, around 19 miles away.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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 an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to The Stocks is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in The Stocks
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you manage a school such as Wittersham Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Your questions about extract fan repair in The Stocks
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in The Stocks?
The local authority for The Stocks is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come to The Stocks after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in The Stocks needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are 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.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the quote in The Stocks
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
