What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Cookham Dean
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Cookham Dean, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Comparing quotes
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

Extract fans in Cookham Dean
Food Standards Agency records list about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Cookham Dean. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cookham Dean. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Cookham Dean
Can you get to a site in Cookham Dean?
Yes, Cookham Dean is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Cookham Dean out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Cookham Dean is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cookham Dean.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. In a small place like Cookham Dean, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
