About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stambourne
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Stambourne, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Essex.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Stambourne, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stambourne
Which fire service covers Stambourne?
That is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Stambourne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stambourne is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Common problems we fix in Stambourne
A kitchen in Stambourne builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hedingham Castle is about 4.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Stambourne before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
