What extract fan cleaning looks like in Dagenham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Dagenham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Dagenham get their food hygiene inspections from Barking and Dagenham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Peter and St. Paul or anywhere around Dagenham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Rush Green Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dagenham (Rainham Hall is about 2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

About our extract fan cleaning in Dagenham
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report and fan repair or replacement is something we also do. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. Typical jobs include grease stains around the discharge and a motor area thick with grease, across roof-mounted fans, fan housings and in-line fans.
In a London area like Dagenham, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Never cook with a filter missing
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Fewer grease particles reaching the fan means less build-up. Clean, well-seated filters are the fan’s first protection, and replace any that are damaged.
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
For extract fan cleaning in Dagenham, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Dagenham.
- The fan is found and its type, access and isolation checked.
- We isolate the power before opening the housing.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- We reassemble, run and photograph the fan.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Dagenham questions
Is parking a problem for work in Dagenham?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dagenham?
Kitchens in Dagenham are inspected by Barking and Dagenham council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What paperwork do I get after a fan clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos of the fan. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
The fan follows the full system’s interval at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Grease readings and the fan’s condition can show it needs more.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
- An impeller that’s bent or split
- A motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Centrifugal fans
- In-line fans
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Fan housings
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What the work involves, part by part
Inline duct fans
Inline fans can be in tight spaces, so the method is planned in advance. If it can’t be reached fully, the report says so.
Fan housings and motors
Inside the casing, grease is thrown onto the walls. We clean it along with the blades.
What happens if it’s left?
The fan is part of the fire path. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system, and insurers asking for TR19 cleaning expect the full system. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
