Extract fan repair around Goodmayes
There are about 164 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 160 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Goodmayes, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Kitchens in Goodmayes get their food hygiene inspections from Barking and Dagenham council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For a takeaway near Goodmayes station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Goodmayes Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Goodmayes, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Goodmayes
Across Goodmayes, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can help.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If your building in Goodmayes has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Why it’s worth doing now in Goodmayes
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. In Goodmayes, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
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’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- 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
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Goodmayes questions
Who inspects food businesses in Goodmayes?
Food hygiene inspections in Goodmayes are carried out by Barking and Dagenham council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you work in Goodmayes outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Goodmayes needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. 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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
