TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Purleigh
One call covers TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Purleigh: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Purleigh
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Purleigh normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A planned visit to Purleigh is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Grease, kitchens and Purleigh
The coast is only about 3 miles from Purleigh. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Purleigh. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Purleigh are the job of Maldon council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Danbury Place is about 4.7 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Purleigh, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Purleigh
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Purleigh

- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
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’s where we come in.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Purleigh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Purleigh questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Purleigh?
In Purleigh, it’s Maldon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Purleigh?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
