Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Drayton
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and a whining or grinding extract motor, on kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Drayton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair around Drayton
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Drayton. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Drayton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as North Oxfordshire Academy or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Common questions in Drayton
Can you come to Drayton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Drayton keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Drayton out of hours?
Drayton is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Drayton
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A fault that closes a site in a village like Drayton affects everyone who depends on it.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. 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 anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Drayton knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

- Any previous report or certificate

Do you need extract fan repair in Drayton?
In Drayton, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter, or anywhere around Drayton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
