Your questions about extract fan repair in Enstone
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Enstone at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Enstone are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work at weekends in Enstone?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Enstone needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Enstone
Wherever your kitchen is in Enstone, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
In a small place like Enstone, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Extract fan repair around Enstone
Food hygiene inspections in Enstone are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Kenelm or elsewhere in Enstone, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Enstone Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Enstone
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Enstone, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
