Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Kitchen extract cleaning in East Horndon
Any kitchen we clean in East Horndon 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. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in East Horndon it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near East Horndon, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Horndon
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Horndon
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in East Horndon, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Horndon is Spire Hartswood Hospital, about 3.1 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book

Questions from East Horndon
Who inspects food businesses in East Horndon?
Food hygiene inspections in East Horndon are carried out by Brentwood council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers East Horndon?
Fire safety enforcement in East Horndon is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it 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.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
