About our kitchen extract cleaning in Mulberry Green
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Mulberry Green give you that record for the maintenance log. We are often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Mulberry Green typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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.
Work in a small place like Mulberry 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.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mulberry Green
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Mulberry Green, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 2.8 miles south), access may need planning.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Mulberry Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Mulberry Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Mulberry Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Mulberry Green get their food hygiene inspections from Colchester 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. Mulberry Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Stanway School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Mulberry Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Mulberry Green
Which environmental health team covers Mulberry Green?
Kitchens in Mulberry Green are inspected by Colchester council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Mulberry Green?
That is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is Mulberry Green in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Mulberry Green included.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mulberry Green

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
