Kitchen extract cleaning in Seawick, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Seawick, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Essex.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Seawick: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re 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.

How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Seawick run smoothly.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What else we do in Seawick
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Seawick
At about 1 mile from the coast, Seawick is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Seawick. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Seawick get their food hygiene inspections from Tendring council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Tendring Enterprise Studio School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A TR19® clean in Seawick doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.
Seawick is about 3 miles south-west of Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex. Whether your site is in the middle of Seawick or further out, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Essex coverage runs to 644 places, and Seawick is one of them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 26 miles away.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Seawick
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a place like Seawick, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Seawick: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Seawick?
Seawick is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Seawick?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Seawick is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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. You get a fixed price before we start.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
