Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Tilbury Juxta Clare
We cover Tilbury Juxta Clare for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Tilbury Juxta Clare is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Tilbury Juxta Clare
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Tilbury Juxta Clare? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Tilbury Juxta Clare as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Tilbury Juxta Clare
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tilbury Juxta Clare. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Tilbury Juxta Clare get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree 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. Tilbury Juxta Clare sits within the area of 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Tilbury Juxta Clare, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hedingham Castle is about 3 miles south-east), access may need planning. For schools such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Tilbury Juxta Clare: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Tilbury Juxta Clare keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Tilbury Juxta Clare during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Tilbury Juxta Clare. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. 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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Tilbury Juxta Clare and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
