TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Broadley Common
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Broadley Common, you get one team and one number for every site.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Broadley Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Broadley Common run smoothly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Grease, kitchens and Broadley Common
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs and bars across Broadley Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Broadley Common sits within the area of 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. In Broadley Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Broadley Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Water Lane Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadley Common
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in Broadley Common
Do you cover smaller places like Broadley Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broadley Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Broadley Common?
That is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
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 as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

More services for Broadley Common
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Broadley Common?
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadley Common is Princess Alexandra Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-east.
