Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Edney Common
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with stale cooking odours from the system and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Edney Common covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Most kitchens in Edney Common fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Edney Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we’re called out for in Edney Common
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Edney Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Edney Common
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Edney Common and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Edney Common can be planned properly.
- 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 any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
