Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Tendring Green, typically within one working day. If you have an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Tendring Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and 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, so that’s where most of the work in Tendring Green goes.
In a village or hamlet like Tendring Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Tendring Green
It’s Tendring council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tendring Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Tendring Green falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Thorpe Hall is about 3.6 miles south-east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Tendring Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we’re called out for in Tendring Green
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Tendring Green, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Edmund, or anywhere in Tendring Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Tendring Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tendring Green?
The local authority for Tendring Green is Tendring council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in villages like Tendring Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tendring Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Tendring Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
