The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shipton-on-Cherwell.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit

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 and we plan around it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Why act early in Shipton-on-Cherwell
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Planning a trip to Shipton-on-Cherwell ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

FAQs for Shipton-on-Cherwell
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shipton-on-Cherwell?
That’s Cherwell council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shipton-on-Cherwell. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come to Shipton-on-Cherwell after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shipton-on-Cherwell does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Common problems we fix in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Marlborough Church of England School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
