- An extract fan that rattles or knocks

- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
What we do, step by step
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. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Dagenham.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work

Extract fan repair in Dagenham, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops. In Dagenham, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Dagenham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why act early in Dagenham
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s better booked as a planned job in Dagenham than handled as an emergency.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Dagenham
- We are fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Each visit written up, with photos
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan repair around Dagenham
Food Standards Agency records list about 77 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 95 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dagenham. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Barking and Dagenham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dagenham. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Peter and St. Paul or elsewhere in Dagenham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Village Infants' School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Dagenham
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Dagenham?
Extract fan emergencies in Dagenham are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How do you handle parking and loading in Dagenham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Dagenham, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
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.
