About our extract fan cleaning in Dagenham Green
In Dagenham Green, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers discharge points, axial fans and centrifugal fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that has never been cleaned and a smell of hot grease from the extract.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Dagenham Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
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 before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. If your building in Dagenham Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Dagenham Green
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the quote in Dagenham Green
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Dagenham Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Dagenham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Dagenham Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
- Do not store items in front of the fan’s access point
File the photo report with your other extract records. It shows the fan’s condition at the time of the clean, which helps if anything changes later.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
FAQs for Dagenham Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dagenham Green?
In Dagenham Green, it’s Barking and Dagenham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Dagenham Green outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Dagenham Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Will I get photos of the cleaned fan?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
The fan must be isolated before anyone touches it. Cleans are done when the kitchen is closed, so cooking isn’t affected.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall fans
With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
In a busy kitchen, the fan rarely gets a rest, which means grease and wear add up quickly. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
When to call us in Dagenham Green
A greasy fan in Dagenham Green is fuel at the end of the duct. A fire in the duct can reach the fan and the grease around it and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A motor area thick with grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Commuter trade near Dagenham Dock station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
