Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Oakshott
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
In a small place like Oakshott, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
FAQs for Oakshott
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Oakshott at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Oakshott can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Oakshott?
Kitchens in Oakshott are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Oakshott.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 make a difference.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What we are called out for in Oakshott
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that will not start at all
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Oakshott, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
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.
