Common problems we fix in Sibford Gower
In Sibford Gower, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Sibford Gower, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Sibford Gower
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and poor airflow at the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Sibford Gower, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

If you manage a school such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Sibford Gower
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
