Extract fan repair in Cuddesdon, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and an extract fan that has stopped working, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
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.

What we’re called out for in Cuddesdon
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Cuddesdon, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Cuddesdon can be planned properly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Cuddesdon questions
Can the work in Cuddesdon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Cuddesdon keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Cuddesdon?
Extract fan emergencies in Cuddesdon are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. 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.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
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.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When a fan fails in Cuddesdon
Cuddesdon is about 47 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. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cuddesdon. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Garsington Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Cuddesdon is about 5 miles south-east of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Cuddesdon gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Cuddesdon is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work for commercial clients.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work

What affects the quote in Cuddesdon
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In a small place like Cuddesdon, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Trading since 2009
