What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Brantham
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Brantham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Brantham
Which fire service covers Brantham?
Fire safety enforcement in Brantham is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Brantham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Brantham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you cover Brantham?
Yes. We work in Brantham and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brantham affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in Brantham
What we are called out for in Brantham
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
School kitchens, at schools like Brooklands Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brantham
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Brantham
Sea air reaches Brantham, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Brantham, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Brantham falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near Brantham, such as Castle House about 3.2 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Brantham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
