Extract fan repair and replacement in Woodcote, Oxfordshire

- An overheating extract motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan repair in Woodcote, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
Around a place like Woodcote, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. That’s what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
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.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Woodcote
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- A fan that won’t start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
