Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hempton
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that keeps cutting out.
Somewhere as small as Hempton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When a fan fails in Hempton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hempton. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Hempton are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Kitchens in Hempton can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Questions from Hempton
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hempton?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hempton is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like Hempton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hempton is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Hempton
Do you need extract fan repair in Hempton?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Saint John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hempton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Planning a trip to Hempton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hempton.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
