About our extract fan repair in Radley
If an extract fan in Radley is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We’re often asked to deal with a fan that won’t start at all and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across bearings, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Radley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for extract fan repair? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Extract fans in Radley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops across Radley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Radley is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Radley get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For kitchens close to Radley station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St James or elsewhere in Radley, can seize between uses. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Radley Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Radley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Radley
Can you work in Radley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Radley needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Radley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Leave it or put it right?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A planned visit to Radley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Radley
- Trading since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Photo reports with every job
What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
