Kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Green, Essex
Kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites in Lower Green and across Essex. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
When to call us in Lower Green
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Lower Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Green
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Lower Green, you get one team and one number for every site.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Lower Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Lower Green
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Planning a trip to Lower Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Other services in Lower Green
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lower Green before we set off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
