Extract Fan Repair in Bodicote
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Bodicote: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
How we handle extract fan repair in Bodicote
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We’re often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
In a smaller place like Bodicote, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Around Bodicote, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Bodicote is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Common questions in Bodicote
Do you work overnight in Bodicote?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bodicote needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Bodicote?
Yes, Bodicote is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.

Extract fan repair around Bodicote
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways across Bodicote and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Bodicote are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Bodicote, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For school kitchens, at schools like Longford Park Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
