Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rudley Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Rudley Green, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Rudley Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Rudley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Rudley Green
Can you work in Rudley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Rudley Green needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the sea air around Rudley Green make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Rudley Green gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Rudley Green: the local picture
Sea air reaches Rudley Green, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rudley Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Rudley Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Rudley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Purleigh Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Rudley Green can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed 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, you get a fixed price before we start.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Common problems we fix in Rudley Green
A kitchen in Rudley Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
What we are most often called out for:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Rudley Green (Danbury Place is about 4.3 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
