About our extract fan repair in Moulsford
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
For a fan repair in or near Moulsford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What else we do in Moulsford
Questions from Moulsford
Do you work in villages like Moulsford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Moulsford is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Moulsford?
Extract fan emergencies in Moulsford are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
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 with a fixed price agreed before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Moulsford
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans

The process
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 any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Moulsford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
When to call us in Moulsford
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Cranford House School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

When a fan fails in Moulsford
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Moulsford. 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. Moulsford is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Moulsford, can seize between uses.
Moulsford is about 6 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Moulsford gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Moulsford among them. There’s also a page for Reading, about 10 miles away.
Extract fan repair in OX10 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on The Street, Glebe Close and Willow Court Lane and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Moulsford: South Stoke (1 mile east), Cholsey (1 mile north), North Stoke (2 miles north-east), Streatley (2 miles south) and Goring (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Oxford (14 miles north), Didcot (6 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles north-west), Thame (15 miles north-east), Wantage (12 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (11 miles east).
Landmarks near Moulsford
Typical jobs here are in premises near South Stoke Primary School and The Perch and Pike pub. For rail, the closest station is Cholsey station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Wallingford Castle (3.7 miles north). For a walk, there’s Withymead Nature Reserve and Churn Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
