Kitchen extract cleaning in Coggeshall Hamlet, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Coggeshall Hamlet 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. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Somewhere as small as Coggeshall Hamlet, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coggeshall Hamlet
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Coggeshall Hamlet now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Common questions in Coggeshall Hamlet
Can the work in Coggeshall Hamlet be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Coggeshall Hamlet can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Coggeshall Hamlet?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Coggeshall Hamlet included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Coggeshall Hamlet?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Coggeshall Hamlet run smoothly.
- 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 work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
