Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stratton Audley
Wherever your kitchen is in Stratton Audley, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about a motor that trips out or overheats and a worn or slipping fan belt.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.

What else we do in Stratton Audley
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Stratton Audley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stratton Audley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Questions from Stratton Audley
Can you work in Stratton Audley outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Stratton Audley for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Stratton Audley can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings

When a fan fails in Stratton Audley
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stratton Audley. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 53 miles out from central London, Stratton Audley is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Stratton Audley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary and St Edburga or elsewhere in Stratton Audley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cooper School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why deal with it now?

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
