Kitchen duct cleaning in Frinton-on-Sea
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We are often asked to deal with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Frinton-on-Sea start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Frinton-on-Sea: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a smaller place like Frinton-on-Sea, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Even a site near Frinton-on-Sea that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Frinton-on-Sea
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Frinton-on-Sea: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Frinton-on-Sea?
Frinton-on-Sea is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Frinton-on-Sea?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Frinton-on-Sea gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you cover Frinton-on-Sea?
Yes. We work in Frinton-on-Sea and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Frinton-on-Sea when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
