Kitchen extract cleaning in Aimes Green
Any kitchen we clean in Aimes Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Aimes Green start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Aimes Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in Aimes Green
A kitchen in Aimes Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Forty Hall is about 4.6 miles south-west), access may need planning.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Aimes Green
If your kitchen in Aimes Green is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Aimes Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Aimes Green?
Aimes Green is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Aimes Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Aimes Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Look up Aimes Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aimes Green.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

What else we do in Aimes Green
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a small place like Aimes Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
