For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Extract fan repair in Cogges, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you have a fan that won’t start at all and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Cogges often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common questions in Cogges
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Cogges out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Cogges is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which environmental health team covers Cogges?
That is West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cogges. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What extract fan repair looks like in Cogges
Look up Cogges on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 59 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cogges. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Cogges. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as The Blake Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Cogges, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Even a site near Cogges that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Around Cogges, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
