About our kitchen extract cleaning in Broxted
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and fat running down the canopy edge. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Broxted, you get one team and one number for every site.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. 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 Broxted, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Broxted
About 34 miles out from central London, Broxted is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. The fire and rescue service for Broxted 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Broxted, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Broxted is about 7 miles north-east of Bishop's Stortford, in Essex. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Broxted and the rest of Essex. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Broxted among them. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page (15 miles or so).

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Broxted: your questions answered
Can you work in Broxted outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Broxted does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broxted?
Kitchens in Broxted are inspected by Uttlesford council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What we are called out for in Broxted
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broxted (Horham Hall is about 1.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Why it’s worth doing now in Broxted
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. If the system at a site near Broxted fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, 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. Somewhere like Broxted, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
