Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Horspath
Working on a fan in Horspath means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
A callout to a small place like Horspath goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.

Extract fan repair in Horspath: local notes
Look up Horspath on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in Horspath and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Horspath. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 49 miles from central London, Horspath sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you manage a school such as Horspath Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Horspath, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Horspath
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need extract fan repair in Horspath, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Horspath, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Photo reports with every job

FAQs for Horspath
Who inspects food businesses in Horspath?
That’s South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Horspath. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Horspath out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Horspath can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
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 will always say when repair makes sense.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
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 we explain the reasoning on the report.
