Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Great Canney
Which fire service covers Great Canney?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Great Canney. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Great Canney?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Great Canney can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Great Canney
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Great Canney, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease smells coming from the extract, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Great Canney? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Great Canney covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Great Canney, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Great Canney
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Great Canney can be planned properly.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Great Canney affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Great Canney
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Canney. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Great Canney falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Great Canney get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Cold Norton Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Great Canney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
