Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mayland
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Mayland, usually within one working day. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Mayland? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Mayland, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mayland
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a small place like Mayland, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a village like Mayland are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Kitchen extract cleaning in Mayland: the local picture
Mayland lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Mayland, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Maldon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mayland. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For kitchens in and around Mayland, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
Mayland is about 5 miles south-east of Maldon, in Essex. Anywhere in CM3, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, and Mayland is one of them. Our Chelmsford page covers sites nearby, about 12 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in CM3 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We cover sites on Thrumble Close, Fels Way and Teal Avenue and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Maylandsea (1 mile north-west), Latchingdon (2 miles south-west), Althorne (2 miles south), Mundon (3 miles west) and Ostend (3 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Colchester (15 miles north), Chelmsford (12 miles west), Basildon (15 miles south-west), Maldon (5 miles north-west), Canvey Island (13 miles south-west) and Billericay (15 miles west).
Near you in Mayland
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Mayland Mill Public House. Mayland’s nearest station is Althorne station, roughly 2.5 miles south of the centre. Not far away are Northey Island.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Common questions in Mayland
Do you work in villages like Mayland?
Yes, Mayland is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mayland?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mayland. 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?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
When to call us in Mayland
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Mayland, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Maylandsea Primary School or anywhere near Mayland, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Comparing quotes

- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
