What affects the quote in Cock Clarks
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cock Clarks
Not all extract fans are the same: fans on the roof, fans built into the duct run, and fans on an outside wall. Each is isolated and opened in its own way and the survey shows us how to reach it. If you have a fan that no longer moves enough air and an extract fan with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Do not turn the fan off mid-service
- Watch for grease marks around the outlet
Keep the report with the maintenance log and fire risk assessment. It gives a dated record of the fan’s condition, which helps if anything changes later.
Keep the route to the fan clear. Clear access means it’s never left out of a clean, whether it’s on a roof, in a ceiling or on a wall.
Why act early in Cock Clarks
Grease on the fan is grease in the system. A TR19 clean that left out the fan wouldn’t cover the whole system and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Planning a trip to Cock Clarks ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Cock Clarks are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First we check the fan’s condition and how it sounds.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- The impeller is cleaned blade by blade so it runs balanced.
- We clean the casing, the outlet and around the motor.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the canopy and ductwork
- Wiring faults to the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different parts, different methods
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A long-hours kitchen can’t afford a fan failure. A clean fan is less likely to strain, and our 24/7 emergency callout is there if it happens anyway.
Wall fans
A wall fan pushes the air straight outside. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned inside and out.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cock Clarks
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Extract fan cleaning around Cock Clarks
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cock Clarks, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Cock Clarks. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Cock Clarks get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Baddow Hospital (about 5.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Danbury Place is about 3.4 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Cock Clarks is about 3 miles south-west of Maldon, in Essex.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Cock Clarks
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Cock Clarks?
Kitchens in Cock Clarks are inspected by Maldon council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Cock Clarks?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cock Clarks is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
With the fan isolated, the extract is not running. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
