How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Noak Hill
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Noak Hill, typically within one working day. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Noak Hill, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Essex.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Noak Hill goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Noak Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Noak Hill can be planned properly.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get 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.

Noak Hill questions
Is Noak Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Noak Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school canteen extract in Noak Hill be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Noak Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 many insurers ask for proof of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Noak Hill
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. If the system at a site near Noak Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Noak Hill
In Noak Hill, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Noak Hill is Mayflower Community Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Noak Hill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Noak Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Basildon council inspect food businesses in Noak Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Noak Hill falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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 historic house or estate in the area (Ingatestone Hall is about 4.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
