In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
About our extract fan repair in Cox Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Cox Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and a squealing belt on start-up, on fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
In a place like Cox Green, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Cox Green can usually be finished without a second trip.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

FAQs for Cox Green
Can you work in Cox Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Cox Green?
Kitchens in Cox Green are inspected by Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cox Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. When a site near Cox Green shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Cox Green.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
