About our extract fan repair in Norham Manor
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on bearings, fan housings and fan motors.
For a fan repair near Norham Manor, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a smaller place like Norham Manor, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What else we do in Norham Manor
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Questions from Norham Manor
Who inspects food businesses in Norham Manor?
Kitchens in Norham Manor are inspected by Oxford City council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come to Norham Manor after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Norham Manor needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. You will know more once we have found the fault.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
