About our extract fan repair in Peppard Hill
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and bearings onwards.
A callout to a small place like Peppard Hill goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Peppard Hill.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
FAQs for Peppard Hill
Can you come to Peppard Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Peppard Hill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Peppard Hill?
That’s South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Peppard Hill. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise normally 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Extract fan repair in Peppard Hill: local notes
Look up Peppard Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Peppard Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Peppard Hill, about 39 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Peppard Hill are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Peppard Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Common problems we fix in Peppard Hill
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Hall kitchens near The Church of Christ the King, or anywhere around Peppard Hill, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
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 slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- 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
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
