Kitchen extract cleaning in Loves Green
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Loves Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Loves Green before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Kitchen extract cleaning in Loves Green: the local picture
Fire safety in Loves Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Loves Green get their food hygiene inspections from Chelmsford council. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Loves Green (Hylands is about 2.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Loves Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Loves Green
Who inspects food businesses in Loves Green?
That is Chelmsford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Loves Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work in villages like Loves Green?
Yes, Loves Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How much notice should we give?
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.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
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.
When to call us in Loves Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Highwood Primary School or anywhere near Loves Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple 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 does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Loves Green and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Loves Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Loves Green, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
You leave with a 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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
