TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and stale cooking odours from the system, on extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 Green Street goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Green Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Grease, kitchens and Green Street
Green Street is covered by 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. We cover Green Street, about 23 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
A hospital like Brentwood Community Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Green Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ingatestone Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Green Street is about 4 miles north-east of Brentwood, in Essex. From the centre of Green Street to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Essex coverage runs to 644 places, Green Street among them. Our Chelmsford page covers sites nearby, about 7 miles away.
We work across the CM4 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby. Nearby, we also carry out kitchen extract cleaning in Beggar Hill (1 mile north), Fryerning (1 mile east), Swallows Cross (1 mile south-west), Mill Green (1 mile north-east) and Ingatestone (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Chelmsford (7 miles north-east), Basildon (8 miles south-east), Harlow (12 miles north-west), Brentwood (4 miles south-west), Maldon (15 miles east) and Canvey Island (14 miles south-east).
What’s near Green Street

Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Green Street
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Green Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Questions from Green Street
Do you work at weekends in Green Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Green Street needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Green Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Green Street, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
