About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hainault
Any kitchen we clean in Hainault gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Hainault, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a smaller kitchen near Hainault, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Hainault
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
For schools such as Limes Farm Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hainault
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
FAQs for Hainault
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hainault?
The local authority for Hainault is Redbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hainault?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hainault. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you cover Hainault?
Yes. We cover Hainault and the rest of Essex, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We plan the journey to Hainault and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease, kitchens and Hainault
The FSA’s data shows about 20 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Hainault and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Hainault is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Hainault, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Redbridge council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Francis of Assisi or elsewhere in Hainault, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Claybury Hospital, about 0.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Hainault is about 2 miles east of Woodford, in Essex. Wherever you are in the IG6 postcode area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Hainault among them. There’s also a page for London, roughly 11 miles from Hainault.

The countryside around Hainault includes Highams Park Lake and Pole Hill.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Hainault can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why Hainault businesses choose us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Trading since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
