Roundbush Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Roundbush Green?
That’s Uttlesford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Roundbush Green. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Roundbush Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Roundbush Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Roundbush Green
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Roundbush Green start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Roundbush Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Roundbush Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Roundbush Green
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A fault that closes a site in a village like Roundbush Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Roundbush Green can be planned properly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Roundbush Green
About 28 miles out from central London, Roundbush Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Roundbush Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rodings Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Roundbush Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Barrington Hall is about 3.1 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
