TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bradfield Heath

Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. Most calls from Bradfield Heath come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.

Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.

Work in a small place like Bradfield Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bradfield Heath affects everyone who depends on it.

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

How the job changes from site to site

Ductwork and risers

Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

Grease filters

A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.

What a clean won’t put right

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:

  • Fat blocking the kitchen drains
  • 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

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Discharge points
  • Vertical risers
  • Extract fans
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Plenums and filters

How it works

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Bradfield Heath run smoothly.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Clear loose items from the work area

How to get a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
  • File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Refit filters properly after cleaning

The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.

Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Kitchen extracts in Bradfield Heath

Sea air reaches Bradfield Heath, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bradfield Heath. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Bradfield Heath is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

School kitchens, at schools like Bradfield Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bradfield Heath (Castle House is about 5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Bradfield Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
