Looking for extract fan repair in Sibford Ferris? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
What extract fan repair looks like in Sibford Ferris
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sibford Ferris. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For school kitchens, at schools like Sibford School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sibford Ferris
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why deal with it now?
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Sibford Ferris is calmer for everyone.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Questions from Sibford Ferris
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Sibford Ferris?
Day or night, a failed fan in Sibford Ferris can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you cover smaller places like Sibford Ferris?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sibford Ferris is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Sibford Ferris.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Sibford Ferris
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Sibford Ferris, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
