What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Extract fan repair in Fulbrook, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and a fan shaking on its mountings, on fan housings, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Fulbrook, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Fulbrook questions
Can you work in Fulbrook outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Fulbrook doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fulbrook?
The local authority for Fulbrook is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When a fan fails in Fulbrook
Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Fulbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Fulbrook get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of Saint James the Great or elsewhere in Fulbrook, can seize between uses. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Burford Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Cotswold Arms Inn and Burford School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Shipton station, roughly 3.8 miles north.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fulbrook.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one

- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard 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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
