Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Theydon Bois
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right, from vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Theydon Bois gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in Theydon Bois
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a place like Theydon Bois, we fit the visit around your hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a smaller place like Theydon Bois, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Theydon Bois kitchens: local notes
Look up Theydon Bois on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Theydon Bois and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Theydon Bois is covered by 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. Kitchens in Theydon Bois get their food hygiene inspections from Epping Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like St. Margaret's Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Theydon Bois Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Theydon Bois (Hill Hall is about 2.3 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Theydon Bois is about 2 miles north-east of Loughton, in Essex. Whatever kind of site you run in Theydon Bois, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Theydon Bois is one of 644 towns, villages and districts in Essex we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. London is in our area too, about 15 miles from Theydon Bois.

Around Theydon Bois
Around Theydon Bois, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Queen Victoria Public House and Davenant Foundation School, among other places. Theydon Bois’s nearest station is Chingford station, about 4.7 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find St. Margaret's Hospital (2.5 miles north-east) and Epping Signalling Museum (1.6 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Lippitts Hill and Home Mead.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in Theydon Bois
Which fire service covers Theydon Bois?
Fire safety enforcement in Theydon Bois is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Theydon Bois?
Yes. Theydon Bois is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
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, so it does not spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?

Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
