How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Extract fan repair in Tubney
Wherever your kitchen is in Tubney, 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. If you have a whining or grinding extract motor and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, bearings and fan housings onwards.
Somewhere as small as Tubney, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we are called out for in Tubney
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Abingdon Preparatory School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Tubney gets to the real cause. Planning a trip to Tubney ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Tubney questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Tubney?
Day or night, a failed fan in Tubney can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you get to a site in Tubney?
Yes. Tubney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tubney
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Tubney and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
