How we handle extract fan repair in Middle Claydon
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: 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. If you are dealing with an old fan that needs replacing and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can help, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Middle Claydon questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Middle Claydon?
In Middle Claydon, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is Middle Claydon within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Middle Claydon included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email at any time if the extract stops and we will organise an engineer.
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Middle Claydon can be fitted around your bookings and events.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Middle Claydon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Middle Claydon
Fans everywhere, Middle Claydon included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like East Claydon Church of England School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
