Kitchen extract cleaning in Feering, Essex
One call covers kitchen extract cleaning in Feering: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Feering are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Kitchen duct cleaning in Feering
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Feering, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and poor airflow at the canopy, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Feering covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Feering, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Feering
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
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. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Questions from Feering
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Feering out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Feering. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Feering?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Feering needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.

What else we do in Feering
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Feering and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Feering
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you cook for passing trade around Kelvedon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Why act early in Feering
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Planning a trip to Feering ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Feering
The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Feering. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Feering. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Feering, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 3.8 miles south-east), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Feering, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
