Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Navestock Common
Kitchen extract cleaning for Navestock Common, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a village like Navestock Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Navestock Common
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Navestock Common give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Navestock Common covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Somewhere as small as Navestock Common, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Navestock Common: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Navestock Common?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Navestock Common is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Navestock Common?
That’s Brentwood council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Navestock Common. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed 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, which is where we come in.
When to call us in Navestock Common
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hare Hall is about 3.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- If they look at the system before pricing
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Navestock Common
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Navestock Common as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. A planned visit to Navestock Common is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
