About our extract fan repair in Jericho
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
For a fan repair near Jericho, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
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.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Jericho
Which environmental health team covers Jericho?
Kitchens in Jericho are inspected by Oxford City council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work in villages like Jericho?
Yes, Jericho is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a place like Jericho are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Report new noises from the fan early
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Extract fan repair around Jericho
Look up Jericho on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 316 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 31 takeaways across Jericho and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We cover Jericho, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Jericho get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For school kitchens, at schools like St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Barnabas Church or elsewhere in Jericho, can seize between uses.
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We carry out extract fan repair for commercial premises of every kind in Jericho and the rest of Oxfordshire. We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire, large and small.
Work in OX1 and OX2 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane, all of which we cover for extract fan repair. Jericho sits on or near the A4144, which makes travel easy for extract fan repair. If your site is just outside Jericho, we cover Walton Manor (1 mile north), St John Street area (1 mile south-east), Park Town (1 mile north-east), Norham Manor (1 mile north-east) and Osney (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (13 miles east).

In Jericho, that means kitchens and buildings near Oxford University Parks, The Rickety Press pub and The Eckersley School of English, among other places. Also close by are Oxford Academy (1.1 miles north) and Somerville College Library (less than half a mile east). The nearest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 0.5 miles south of the centre.

Open spaces near Jericho include Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Harcourt Hill.
Common problems we fix in Jericho
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a kitchen close to Oxford station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What happens if it’s left?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
