Extract fan repair in Stonesfield
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include an overheating extract motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Stonesfield, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
In Stonesfield, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Planning a trip to Stonesfield ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Stonesfield
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Stonesfield or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you manage a school such as Stonesfield School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

FAQs for Stonesfield
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Stonesfield?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Stonesfield is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonesfield are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Extract fans in Stonesfield
It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stonesfield. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Stonesfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
