Extract fan repair and replacement in Bunkers Hill, Oxfordshire
Our technicians work in Bunkers Hill on repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A fan that will not start at all
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
How we handle extract fan repair in Bunkers Hill
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
In Bunkers Hill, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bunkers Hill
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Other services in Bunkers Hill
Your questions about extract fan repair in Bunkers Hill
Can you work in Bunkers Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Bunkers Hill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Bunkers Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
When a fan fails in Bunkers Hill
Kitchens in Bunkers Hill get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Bunkers Hill is about 58 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Cross or elsewhere in Bunkers Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Marlborough School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Bunkers Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
