Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shoeburyness
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Shoeburyness? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Shoeburyness goes well beyond the canopy.
In a town like Shoeburyness, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Shoeburyness
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Shoeburyness, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Shoeburyness
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- 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. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Sites in a town like Shoeburyness rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Questions from Shoeburyness
Who inspects food businesses in Shoeburyness?
Kitchens in Shoeburyness are inspected by Southend-On-Sea council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shoeburyness?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
