Why act early in Duns Tew
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. If the system at a site near Duns Tew fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Extract fan repair in Duns Tew
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. If you are dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
A callout to a small place like Duns Tew goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair in Duns Tew: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Duns Tew are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Duns Tew, can seize between uses.

- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Duns Tew, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Duns Tew
Can you come to Duns Tew after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Duns Tew does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Duns Tew?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Duns Tew is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
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 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
