Extract Fan Repair across Oxfordshire

How extract fan repair works in Oxfordshire

Grease is hard on extract fans. 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 can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a dead fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals.

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
  3. We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
  4. You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

Extract fan repair around Oxfordshire

Across Oxfordshire, from Oxford, Banbury and Didcot outwards, kitchens depend on their extract fans to keep cooking. When a fan fails, our 24/7 emergency line is there.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Oxfordshire can keep trading.

Oxford: If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Clement's Church, or anywhere in Oxford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as East Oxford Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What staff can safely do

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

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.

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
  • Report new noises from the fan early
  • Never run the extract with filters missing
  • Write down when the fan misbehaves

If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.

When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

Signs you need extract fan repair

Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A whining or grinding extract motor
  • A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
  • Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
  • A belt-driven fan that squeals

What happens if it’s left?

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one.

Comparing quotes

  • What insurance they carry
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Your questions about extract fan repair in Oxfordshire

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?

While we’re working on the fan, the extract is isolated. We can come when the kitchen is closed so service carries on as normal.

Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?

A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Why is our extract fan so noisy?

There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
