Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Stebbing and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stebbing, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a village or hamlet like Stebbing, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stebbing?
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stebbing Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Honest limits

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
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’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Questions from Stebbing
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stebbing?
Fire safety enforcement in Stebbing is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not 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 Stebbing?
Yes, Stebbing is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Stebbing
Stebbing, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Stebbing get their food hygiene inspections from Uttlesford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Braintree Community Hospital about 5.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reformed Church or anywhere around Stebbing, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
