Extract fan repair in Fewcott
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
In a small place like Fewcott, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Fewcott
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
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.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Fewcott and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Fewcott can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work

Fewcott questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Fewcott?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Fewcott is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is Fewcott within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Fewcott included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. In a small place like Fewcott, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
