Extract fan repair and replacement in South Leigh, Oxfordshire
Extract fan repair in South Leigh from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to South Leigh.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

When to call us in South Leigh
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in South Leigh or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Hall kitchens near Church of St James, or anywhere around South Leigh, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
South Leigh: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in South Leigh?
In South Leigh, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover South Leigh for emergency fan repairs?
South Leigh is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that’s likely to be.

What else we do in South Leigh
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A planned visit to South Leigh is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- In business since 2009
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fully insured

What affects the quote in South Leigh
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
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.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
