TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Cold Norton
Across Cold Norton, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. 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. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Cold Norton typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Cold Norton, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cold Norton run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Kitchen extracts in Cold Norton
Cold Norton, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Cold Norton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maldon council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cold Norton Primary School or anywhere near Cold Norton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
What we’re called out for in Cold Norton
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Cold Norton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Stephen's Church or elsewhere in Cold Norton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Cold Norton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cold Norton?
The local authority for Cold Norton is Maldon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Cold Norton?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cold Norton. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Cold Norton can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
