About our extract fan repair in Chalgrove
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers bearings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
In a smaller place like Chalgrove, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Chalgrove when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Extract fans in Chalgrove
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chalgrove, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Chalgrove. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 44 miles out from central London, Chalgrove is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Chalgrove, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
When to call us in Chalgrove
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like Chalgrove Community Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
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. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Around Chalgrove, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
