Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Extract fan repair in Fencott, done properly
Kitchens in Fencott call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. Typical jobs include a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan shaking on its mountings, across fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Fencott goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Fencott
When to call us in Fencott
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

FAQs for Fencott
Do you cover smaller places like Fencott?
Yes, Fencott is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Fencott after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Fencott doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fencott
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fencott
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Fencott gets to the real cause. Somewhere as small as Fencott, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fencott.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
