How we handle extract fan repair in Shillingford
Kitchens in Shillingford call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
A callout to a small place like Shillingford goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Shillingford: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Shillingford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shillingford included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Shillingford outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Extract fan repair around Shillingford
About 46 miles out from central London, Shillingford is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shillingford. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Laurence Church of England (A) School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere around Shillingford, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Shillingford is about 5 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Shillingford, extract fan repair is something we can help with.

Why act early in Shillingford
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning a trip to Shillingford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Shillingford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Shillingford
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
