What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Boreham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Boreham, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Boreham covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Boreham goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Boreham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Boreham kitchens: local notes
Look up Boreham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Boreham. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Boreham is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Boreham are the job of Chelmsford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Priory Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Boreham Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common questions in Boreham
Can you work in Boreham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Boreham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can school kitchens in Boreham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Boreham. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
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 to a regular schedule.
Other services in Boreham
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Boreham
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Boreham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What insurance they carry
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Boreham, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
