- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere like Mount Bures, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Kitchen extract cleaning in Mount Bures
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and fat running down the canopy edge, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Mount Bures, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Mount Bures: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mount Bures?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mount Bures. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Mount Bures be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Mount Bures keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover Mount Bures?
Yes. We work in Mount Bures and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 needed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises

What we’re called out for in Mount Bures
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. 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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Mount Bures, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
