Kitchen extract cleaning in Chase Cross, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Chase Cross gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and fat running down the canopy edge, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Chase Cross, 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.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Chase Cross gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, 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.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Chase Cross can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Grease, kitchens and Chase Cross
Look up Chase Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 57 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 18 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chase Cross. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s Havering council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chase Cross. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Chase Cross sits within the area of 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bower Park Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St James, or anywhere in Chase Cross, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Harold Wood Hospital, about 2.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Questions from Chase Cross
Which environmental health team covers Chase Cross?
Food hygiene inspections in Chase Cross are carried out by Havering council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Chase Cross?
Chase Cross is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Is Chase Cross in your area?
Yes. We cover Chase Cross and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
