TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bobbingworth
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bobbingworth from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

In a village or hamlet like Bobbingworth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

Questions from Bobbingworth
Do you cover smaller places like Bobbingworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Bobbingworth?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bobbingworth can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bobbingworth.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one

In-house cleaning or 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, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Bobbingworth is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job 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. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a small place like Bobbingworth, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 we start.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Bobbingworth
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bobbingworth. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Bobbingworth are the job of Epping Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Bobbingworth falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Historic houses near Bobbingworth, such as Hill Hall about 4.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Germain or elsewhere in Bobbingworth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Margaret's Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
