Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Aston Tirrold
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Aston Tirrold, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Aston Tirrold
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Aston Tirrold?
Extract fan emergencies in Aston Tirrold are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who inspects food businesses in Aston Tirrold?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Aston Tirrold. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
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.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
