Far Thorpe Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Far Thorpe Green?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Far Thorpe Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Far Thorpe Green
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Far Thorpe Green, typically within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about missing paperwork after a change of operator and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Far Thorpe Green, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Essex.
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 Far Thorpe Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Far Thorpe Green is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What affects the quote in Far Thorpe Green
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a 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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Far Thorpe Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
