Extract Fan Repair in New Hinksey
Need extract fan repair in New Hinksey? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in New Hinksey
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a fan that keeps cutting out and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help, from bearings, fan housings and belts and pulleys onwards.
Around a place like New Hinksey, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan can’t carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a site near New Hinksey, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

FAQs for New Hinksey
Do you work at weekends in New Hinksey?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in New Hinksey?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and New Hinksey is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system

- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Common problems we fix in New Hinksey
In New Hinksey, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
