Almost certainly the fan. Most run through a relay or a fuse which turns on when the radiator thermostat reaches a trigger temperature. To check Open the bonnet, switch on the engine when it starts to heat up see if the fan starts. If not clean all the contacts and replace the fuse for the fan circuit. If still no luck get someone with a circuit tester to check out the connections in the fan circuit.
