What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stones Green
The coast is only about 3 miles from Stones Green. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food hygiene inspections in Stones Green are the job of Tendring council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Stones Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wix and Wrabness Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Stones Green
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease smells coming from the extract. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Stones Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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.
Work in a small place like Stones Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
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.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Stones Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains

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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stones Green
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. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Thorpe Hall, about 3.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Stones Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Stones Green questions
Can you get to a site in Stones Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stones Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Stones Green?
It can, as Stones Green is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stones Green
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
