Extract fan repair in Leafield
If an extract fan in Leafield is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We’re often asked to deal with a dead fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on roof and wall fans, bearings and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Leafield, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Leafield?
Food hygiene inspections in Leafield are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every 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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, 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 in England and Wales.

Advice
When to call us in Leafield
Fans everywhere, Leafield included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Leafield, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What happens if it’s left?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Leafield
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
