Extract Fan Repair in Lyneham
Extract fan repair in Lyneham from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan rattling in its housing
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Lyneham
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an old fan that needs replacing and poor airflow at the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Lyneham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Lyneham knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

When to call us in Lyneham
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Around Lyneham, as anywhere, we look at why a fan failed as well as fixing it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Extract fan repair around Lyneham
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lyneham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Lyneham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

Lyneham questions
Do you work overnight in Lyneham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Lyneham does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Lyneham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. 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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
