Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Hawbush Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hawbush Green are the job of Braintree council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cressing Primary School or anywhere near Hawbush Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like William Julien Courtauld Hospital, about 2.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hawbush Green
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
A clean in Hawbush Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Hawbush Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hawbush Green
Is Hawbush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Hawbush Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Hawbush Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hawbush Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hawbush Green knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hawbush Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
