About our kitchen extract cleaning in Cock Clarks
Any kitchen we clean in Cock Clarks gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Cock Clarks, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Essex.
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.
Somewhere as small as Cock Clarks, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens on the day
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. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cock Clarks, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Every job surveyed first

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cock Clarks
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points

Kitchen extracts in Cock Clarks
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Cock Clarks, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Cock Clarks, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Cock Clarks falls to 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Danbury Place is about 3.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Questions from Cock Clarks
Do you work in villages like Cock Clarks?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cock Clarks included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cock Clarks?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cock Clarks. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cock Clarks?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hospital like Baddow Hospital, about 5.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
