Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Great Rollright
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. Common call-outs are for a fan that won’t start at all and a fan rattling in its housing, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Great Rollright 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Great Rollright can be planned properly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Great Rollright
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Great Rollright or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Great Rollright, can seize between uses.

What extract fan repair looks like in Great Rollright
In Great Rollright, 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 is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Why it’s worth doing now in Great Rollright
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
