Extract fan repair in Bladon, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan that keeps cutting out and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
In a small place like Bladon, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Bladon: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Bladon at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Bladon is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Is Bladon within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bladon is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Do you need extract fan repair in Bladon?
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Martin's Church, or anywhere in Bladon, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training 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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Bladon can be planned properly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
