Extract Fan Repair in Dagenham Green
Extract fan repair in Dagenham Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
How we handle extract fan repair in Dagenham Green
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Dagenham Green, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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 else we do in Dagenham Green
What affects the quote in Dagenham Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Dagenham Green: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Dagenham Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Dagenham Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Dagenham Green?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Dagenham Green is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Extract fans in Dagenham Green
Look up Dagenham Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 57 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 53 takeaways and sandwich shops in Dagenham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Dagenham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barking and Dagenham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Marsh Green Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Dagenham Green, can seize between uses.

What happens if it’s left?
In Dagenham Green, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. In Dagenham Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Dagenham Green is no exception.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
