Extract fan repair around Burdrop
Food hygiene inspections in Burdrop are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

About our extract fan repair in Burdrop
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a dead fan motor, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Burdrop, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Burdrop
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An overheating extract motor
Hall kitchens near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere around Burdrop, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Burdrop rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Burdrop, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Burdrop
Questions from Burdrop
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Burdrop at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Burdrop is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work in villages like Burdrop?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burdrop included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
