About kitchen extract cleaning in Southend-on-Sea

Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Southend-on-Sea, typically within one working day. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke.

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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extract cleaning across Southend-on-Sea: local notes

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across Southend-on-Sea takes in places such as Prittlewell, Shoeburyness and Leigh-on-Sea and the villages in between. Every place on our Southend-on-Sea list (16 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Southend-on-Sea can keep trading. Coastal kitchens in Southend-on-Sea often have their busiest months in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.

Southend-on-Sea: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southend University Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Westborough Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
A grease trap that needs emptying
A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Different parts, different methods

Extract fan and discharge

Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.

Canopy and plenum

Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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 are happy to quote for all of it.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

What we’re called out for in Southend-on-Sea

Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Southend-on-Sea, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Poor airflow at the canopy

Southend-on-Sea questions

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What do I get after the clean?

You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
