Extract fan repair in Wytham
Across Wytham, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an old fan that needs replacing, across fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
A callout to a small place like Wytham goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Wytham
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Wytham or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A dead fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Wytham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Wytham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Wytham?
In Wytham, it’s Oxford City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Will you come out to Wytham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wytham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Extract fan repair in Wytham: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Wytham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Wytham are the job of Oxford City council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Wytham, about 56 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Oxford Academy or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What else we do in Wytham
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Why act early in Wytham
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A planned visit to Wytham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Wytham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
