How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Nazeing
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you are dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Nazeing? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Nazeing, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Nazeing, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Nazeing: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Nazeing?
Fire safety enforcement in Nazeing is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover smaller places like Nazeing?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nazeing is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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 typically have a quote within one working day.

Also in Nazeing
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nazeing?
A kitchen in Nazeing builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Alexandra Hospital (about 2.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A fault that closes a site in a village like Nazeing affects everyone who depends on it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Nazeing: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nazeing. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Nazeing sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Nazeing, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Epping Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Nazeing, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Water Lane Primary Academy or anywhere near Nazeing, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
