Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Netteswell
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Netteswell, you get one team and one number for every site.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Netteswell gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Netteswell
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 100 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 40 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Netteswell. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Harlow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Netteswell. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Netteswell is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you cook for passing trade around Harlow Town station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Freshwaters Primary Academy or anywhere near Netteswell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Netteswell
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Netteswell
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Princess Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Netteswell, about 0.8 miles west.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the price is fixed
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A site near Netteswell usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Common questions in Netteswell
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Netteswell during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 29 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Netteswell. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Netteswell?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Netteswell. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Netteswell?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.

What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Netteswell is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Even a site near Netteswell that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
