How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A site near Drayton typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Drayton
Across Drayton, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Common call-outs are for a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a worn or slipping fan belt, on bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a place like Drayton is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Drayton: your questions answered
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Drayton?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Drayton is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work in villages like Drayton?
Yes. Drayton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Other services in Drayton
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Drayton gets to the real cause. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Drayton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Extract fans in Drayton
Kitchens in Drayton get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. We cover Drayton, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Drayton Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What we are called out for in Drayton
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of Saint Peter, or anywhere in Drayton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
