Oxfordshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Shilton extract fan repair
Extract fan repair in Shilton from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Extract fan repair in Shilton, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and a worn or slipping fan belt, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Shilton goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
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.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Shilton
In Shilton, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Rood, or anywhere in Shilton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

FAQs for Shilton
Do you cover Shilton for emergency fan repairs?
Shilton is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work overnight in Shilton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Shilton needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job 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 Shilton run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Other services in Shilton
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What affects the quote in Shilton
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fans in Shilton
Food Standards Agency records list about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shilton. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Shilton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Carterton Community College, rather than mid-term.
