Extract Fan Repair in Shellingford
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Shellingford and across Oxfordshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Shellingford run smoothly.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

About our extract fan repair in Shellingford
Working on a fan in Shellingford means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that keeps cutting out.
For a fan repair in or near Shellingford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Shellingford
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Do you need extract fan repair in Shellingford?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you manage a school such as Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What extract fan repair looks like in Shellingford
Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Shellingford. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Faith, or anywhere in Shellingford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Shellingford is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Shellingford, extract fan repair is something we can help with.

What’s near Shellingford
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Faringdon Community College and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Faringdon Castle (1.9 miles north-west) and Faringdon Museum (2.2 miles north-west). Open spaces near Shellingford include Badbury Hill.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
