What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Nayland
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Kitchen duct cleaning in Nayland
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have grease smells coming from the extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers onwards. When a restaurant in Nayland asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Nayland covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Nayland, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nayland
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Nayland Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Kitchen extracts in Nayland
Fire safety in Nayland falls to 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. It’s Babergh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nayland. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Severalls Hospital (about 3.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Nayland, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Nayland
Do you cover smaller places like Nayland?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nayland included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Nayland outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Nayland does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Nayland, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the quote in Nayland
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
