Extract fan repair in Upper Heyford
Across Upper Heyford, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help, from fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a place like Upper Heyford, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Upper Heyford questions
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Heyford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Heyford is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Upper Heyford?
Food hygiene inspections in Upper Heyford are carried out by Cherwell council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so cooking under the canopy has to stop. That is why we work evenings, overnight and at weekends.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Heyford
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Upper Heyford and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Everything the job in Upper Heyford needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
