What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Visits to a place like Long Hanborough are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Extract fan repair in Long Hanborough
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. If you have an overheating extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can put it right.
Around a place like Long Hanborough, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Long Hanborough and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from Long Hanborough
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Long Hanborough at night?
Long Hanborough is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is Long Hanborough within the area you cover?
Yes. Long Hanborough is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Never run the extract with filters missing
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.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When to call us in Long Hanborough
In Long Hanborough, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
For school kitchens, at schools like Hanborough Manor CofE School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When a fan fails in Long Hanborough

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. At about 60 miles from central London, Long Hanborough sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Long Hanborough, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
