Essex · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bradwell, Essex
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bradwell. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bradwell
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Bradwell, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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.
For a kitchen in or near Bradwell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bradwell
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Bradwell and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Bradwell falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Bradwell are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital, about 3.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Alec Hunter Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Bradwell, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What affects the quote in Bradwell
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For kitchen extract cleaning in Bradwell, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bradwell, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Bradwell questions
Which fire authority looks after Bradwell?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bradwell. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Bradwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
