About our extract fan repair in Letcombe Bassett
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We’re often asked to deal with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Letcombe Bassett goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Letcombe Bassett can be planned properly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
Extract fans in Letcombe Bassett
Letcombe Bassett is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Letcombe Bassett get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Letcombe Bassett, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Kitchens in Letcombe Bassett can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Letcombe Bassett questions
Will you come out to Letcombe Bassett?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Letcombe Bassett after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Letcombe Bassett can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Why deal with it now?
In Letcombe Bassett, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Planning a trip to Letcombe Bassett ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Letcombe Bassett and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
