Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and an overheating extract motor, we can help.
For a fan repair near Walton Manor, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
FAQs for Walton Manor
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Walton Manor out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Walton Manor can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Walton Manor?
Kitchens in Walton Manor are inspected by Oxford City council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. When a site near Walton Manor shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
