Extract fan repair in Hungerford Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
In a small place like Hungerford Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
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.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere as small as Hungerford Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hungerford Green
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hungerford Green and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 can diagnose it and quote.

Hungerford Green questions
Will you come out to Hungerford Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hungerford Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Hungerford Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you need extract fan repair in Hungerford Green?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's church or elsewhere in Hungerford Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
