About our extract fan repair in Drayton St Leonard
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an old fan that needs replacing.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Drayton St Leonard
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that will not start at all
If a fan fails in Drayton St Leonard at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What else we do in Drayton St Leonard
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.

FAQs for Drayton St Leonard
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Drayton St Leonard?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Drayton St Leonard is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you work in Drayton St Leonard outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Drayton St Leonard can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
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.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
