Kitchen duct cleaning in Moulsham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Moulsham, usually within one working day. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. Kitchens in Moulsham book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a smaller kitchen near Moulsham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Why it’s worth doing now in Moulsham
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Even a site near Moulsham that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Moulsham kitchens: local notes
There are about 206 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 71 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moulsham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In Moulsham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Moulsham is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chelmsford and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Moulsham, about 0.7 miles south-west.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Moulsham
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Moulsham during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 35 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Moulsham. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Moulsham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Moulsham can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
