Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broad Street Green
If the ducts in Broad Street Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are fat dripping from the ductwork and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
In a small place like Broad Street Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Broad Street Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Common questions in Broad Street Green
Do you cover smaller places like Broad Street Green?
Yes, Broad Street Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Broad Street Green?
Kitchens in Broad Street Green are inspected by Maldon council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A planned visit to Broad Street Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- We’re fully insured

When to call us in Broad Street Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
What we are most often called out for:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Heybridge Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Comparing quotes
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Broad Street Green kitchens: local notes
Broad Street Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways in and around Broad Street Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Environmental health officers from Maldon council inspect food businesses in Broad Street Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Broad Street Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
