Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Oxley Green
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. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and poor airflow at the canopy, across discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Oxley Green, you get one team and one number for every site.
Most kitchens in Oxley Green fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 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.
In a small place like Oxley Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Oxley Green questions
Do you work overnight in Oxley Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Oxley Green needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Oxley Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Oxley Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Oxley Green
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Oxley Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Oxley Green and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why act early in Oxley Green
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Oxley Green affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Grease, kitchens and Oxley Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Oxley Green. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Oxley Green falls to 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. Kitchens in Oxley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon 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.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Oxley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thurstable School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 2.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
