Kitchen extract cleaning near Little Easton

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Little Easton

A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Little Easton, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.

Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Little Easton goes.

For a kitchen in or near Little Easton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: 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: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Little Easton

Do you work in villages like Little Easton?

Yes. Little Easton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Little Easton?

Little Easton is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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 much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

What accreditations do you hold?

We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.

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 work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Little Easton.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Different parts, different methods

Ductwork and risers

Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

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.

Why deal with it now?

Any food business in Little Easton can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In a place like Little Easton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Little Easton

The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered in and around Little Easton, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Little Easton. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Little Easton are the job of Uttlesford council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Horham Hall, about 3.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Little Easton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Little Easton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Extract fans
  • Vertical risers
  • Discharge points
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Plenums and filters

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • The size of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

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’ll get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

We do not publish a 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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
