Kitchen duct cleaning in Paglesham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Paglesham, normally within one working day. If you have grease smells coming from the extract and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. When a restaurant in Paglesham asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Paglesham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Paglesham and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Paglesham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Paglesham?
The local authority for Paglesham is Rochford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Paglesham?
Yes. Paglesham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Paglesham
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Grease, kitchens and Paglesham
Paglesham is about 39 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Rochford council inspect food businesses in Paglesham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Southend University Hospital about 5.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Historic houses near Paglesham, such as Southchurch Hall about 4.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peters Mission Hall or elsewhere in Paglesham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Paglesham is about 3 miles south-west of Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex. Whether your site is in the middle of Paglesham or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Paglesham among them. We also work in Chelmsford, about 16 miles from Paglesham.
Work in SS4 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. We also cover Barling (2 miles south), Great Stambridge (2 miles west), Little Wakering (3 miles south), Stonebridge (3 miles south-west) and Sutton (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Basildon (14 miles west), Maldon (10 miles north-west), Canvey Island (10 miles south-west), Rayleigh (8 miles west), Wickford (11 miles west) and Rochford (4 miles west).

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Paglesham run smoothly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Planning a trip to Paglesham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
