TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Mundon
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Mundon, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Mundon asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Mundon goes.
In a village or hamlet like Mundon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extracts in Mundon
Mundon is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Mundon 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. Kitchens in Mundon get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Mundon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mundon?
In Mundon, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Whether the kitchen is in Mundon itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
You leave with a 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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Mundon
Do you cover smaller places like Mundon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mundon included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mundon?
Kitchens in Mundon are inspected by Maldon council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Mundon?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Mundon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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 any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
What affects the quote in Mundon
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
