Extract fan repair in Dagenham Dock
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Dagenham Dock, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Dagenham Dock needs from us.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Dagenham Dock
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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 normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Dagenham Dock
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fans in Dagenham Dock
Look up Dagenham Dock on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 46 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Dagenham Dock, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Dagenham Dock, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barking and Dagenham council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
For kitchens close to Dagenham Dock station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Dagenham Dock, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Peter's Catholic Primary School, rather than mid-term.

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
