Kitchen extract cleaning in Debden Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Debden Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Debden Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Debden Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Debden Green: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Debden Green 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. Fire safety in Debden Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Debden Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hill Hall is about 3.3 miles east), access may need planning. A hospital like St. Margaret's Hospital, about 3.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Davenant Foundation School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Debden Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Debden Green during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Debden Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Debden Green?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. 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 to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you work in Debden Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Debden Green.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as Debden Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. 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. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Debden Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
