How we handle extract fan repair in Fyfield
Across Fyfield, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you are dealing with a squealing belt on start-up and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Fyfield, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere as small as Fyfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Fyfield
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Fyfield?
Day or night, a failed fan in Fyfield can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you get to a site in Fyfield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fyfield included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
