Oxfordshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Hailey, Oxfordshire
Extract fan repair in Hailey from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Why deal with it now?
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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 explain each part.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hailey
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Hailey, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Hailey
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Extract fans in Hailey
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hailey. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Hailey are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Hailey, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Hailey: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hailey?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hailey included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hailey?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hailey can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hailey and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
