Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Sibley's Green
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Sibley's Green typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: 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.
In a village or hamlet like Sibley's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Sibley's Green
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. If the system at a site near Sibley's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods

Common questions in Sibley's Green
Will you come out to Sibley's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sibley's Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Sibley's Green?
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. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Grease, kitchens and Sibley's Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sibley's Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Uttlesford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sibley's Green. 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. Essex County Fire and Rescue Service covers Sibley's Green. 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 look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Putteridge High School or anywhere near Sibley's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horham Hall is about 1.9 miles west), access may need planning.

Typical jobs here are in premises near Greyhound Public House. For rail, the closest station is Stansted Airport station, about 4.8 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Little Easton Moat (3.1 miles south). Open spaces near Sibley's Green include West Wood.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sibley's Green before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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 pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
