Extractor fan repair in Madley Park
Extract fan repair for commercial sites in Madley Park and across Oxfordshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Extract fan repair in Madley Park, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
A callout to a place like Madley Park is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A site near Madley Park normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Madley Park
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Madley Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Madley Park are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Madley Park?
Madley Park is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What we are called out for in Madley Park
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
For school kitchens, at schools like Madley Brook Community Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What extract fan repair looks like in Madley Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 55 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops across Madley Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Madley Park are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Madley Park, can seize between uses.
