What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. The timing of a visit to Glympton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work

Why act early in Glympton
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Glympton affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Glympton
- Full insurance on every job
- Photo reports with every job
- Every job surveyed first
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

Glympton questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Glympton?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Glympton is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which environmental health team covers Glympton?
The local authority for Glympton is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Extract fans in Glympton
In Glympton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Glympton, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Around Glympton, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we will explain why.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Glympton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
