Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cannon's Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Cannon's Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Cannon's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Cannon's Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Kitchen extracts in Cannon's Green
Cannon's Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Cannon's Green, about 23 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Cannon's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Cannon's Green is about 7 miles east of Harlow, in Essex. From the centre of Cannon's Green to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Common problems we fix in Cannon's Green
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Ongar Academy or anywhere near Cannon's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they recommend a next date
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
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.

Cannon's Green questions
Do you work in villages like Cannon's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Cannon's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Cannon's Green are carried out by Epping Forest council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Cannon's Green is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
