How we handle extract fan repair in Piddington
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that is what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan motors, bearings and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan rattling in its housing and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
For a fan repair in or near Piddington, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
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 are fully insured.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Piddington: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Piddington?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Piddington. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover Piddington for emergency fan repairs?
Piddington is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Piddington
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Planning a trip to Piddington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Every job surveyed first
- We’re fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
What we do, step by step
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 anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Piddington run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- 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.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work

- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Piddington, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
