Kitchen duct cleaning in Clatterford End
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Clatterford End, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. When a restaurant in Clatterford End asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Clatterford End covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Clatterford End
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Ongar Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
