Your questions about extract fan repair in Mongewell
Which council inspects kitchens in Mongewell?
Food hygiene inspections in Mongewell are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can the work in Mongewell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Extract fan repair in Mongewell
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan shaking on its mountings, on fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Mongewell goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mongewell.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.

Before we arrive

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Mongewell
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church, or anywhere around Mongewell, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mongewell
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Mongewell gets to the real cause. If the system at a site near Mongewell fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
