Grease, kitchens and Great Stambridge
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Great Stambridge. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In Great Stambridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rochford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Great Stambridge 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Great Stambridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Southend University Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Great Stambridge
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Great Stambridge, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Most calls from Great Stambridge come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A clean in Great Stambridge covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Great Stambridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Great Stambridge knowing what to expect.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Great Stambridge
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
For schools such as Stambridge Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Great Stambridge questions
Do you work at weekends in Great Stambridge?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Great Stambridge can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can a school canteen extract in Great Stambridge be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Great Stambridge. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Great Stambridge and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
