How we handle extract fan repair in Burford
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you’re dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and a dead fan motor, we can put it right.
For a fan repair near Burford, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A quieter site near Burford still needs its system looked after.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
FAQs for Burford
Which council inspects kitchens in Burford?
In Burford, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Will you come out to Burford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burford included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
We need the extract switched off during the repair, so the kitchen can’t cook under it. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Other services in Burford
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Around Burford, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Extract fan repair around Burford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burford. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Burford get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Burford, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For school kitchens, at schools like Burford Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
