Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Debden
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Debden, normally within one working day. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Debden it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Debden goes well beyond the canopy.
In a smaller place like Debden, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Debden: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Debden out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Debden, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Debden?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Debden. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Do you cover Debden?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Debden included.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

Grease, kitchens and Debden
The FSA’s data shows about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Debden and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Debden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Debden 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Thomas Willingale Primary School and Nursery or anywhere near Debden, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Hill Hall, about 3.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Debden; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Claybury Hospital (about 3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Debden than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a smaller place like Debden, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
