TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Perry Green

Kitchen extract cleaning in Perry Green
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Perry Green, you get one team and one number for every site.
A clean in Perry Green 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, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Perry Green can be planned properly.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we’re called out for in Perry Green
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 those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Where a hall near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Perry Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Perry Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Perry Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Perry Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Perry Green?
That is Braintree council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Perry Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Perry Green?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
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 also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

What we work on in Perry Green
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
