Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Murcott
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
In a small place like Murcott, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

FAQs for Murcott
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Murcott at night?
Murcott is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work overnight in Murcott?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Murcott keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.

Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If the system at a site near Murcott fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
