Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Clifton
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about a belt-driven fan that squeals and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What extract fan repair looks like in Clifton
Look up Clifton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Clifton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Clifton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. 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.
Belts, bearings, motors and impellers are all checked when we look at a fan around Clifton.

Why act early in Clifton
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s simpler to plan the work at Clifton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Clifton questions
Can you get to a site in Clifton?
Yes. Clifton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Clifton after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Clifton keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?

Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Clifton
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Clifton before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
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. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
