Extract Fan Repair in New Marston
Extract fan repair and replacement for New Marston, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in New Marston
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new 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 any work starts. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan shaking on its mountings.
In a smaller place like New Marston, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How it 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 we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near New Marston is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Extract fan repair in New Marston: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 341 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 34 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Marston. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. At about 52 miles from central London, New Marston sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in New Marston get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Saint Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in New Marston, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What we’re called out for in New Marston
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A dead fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A whining or grinding extract motor
For school kitchens, at schools like St Michael's CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in New Marston
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about extract fan repair in New Marston
Which environmental health team covers New Marston?
Kitchens in New Marston are inspected by Oxford City council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Will you come out to New Marston?
Yes. New Marston is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so the kitchen can’t cook under it. That’s why we work evenings, overnight and at weekends.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
