Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Newney Green
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Newney Green 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, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Newney Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
We turn up 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. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Newney Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Newney Green
Which fire authority looks after Newney Green?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Newney Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Newney Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Newney Green. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Newney Green?
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 work begins.
Is Newney Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Newney Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Newney Green and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Grease, kitchens and Newney Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Newney Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Chelmsford council inspect food businesses in Newney Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Newney Green. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chelmsford and Essex Hospital about 3.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Newney Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we are called out for in Newney Green
In Newney Green, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newney Green (Hylands is about 2.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
