About our extract fan repair in Upper Arncott
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that has stopped working and a humming noise from the fan motor, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Upper Arncott, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Upper Arncott
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Upper Arncott and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Upper Arncott is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote

Advice
Upper Arncott: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Upper Arncott?
The local authority for Upper Arncott is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Upper Arncott?
Upper Arncott is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
