Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Tillingham
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Tillingham? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Tillingham knowing what to expect.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Tillingham
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Tillingham, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right. Kitchens in Tillingham book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Tillingham goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Tillingham, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Tillingham
Can the work in Tillingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Tillingham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Tillingham?
In Tillingham, it’s Maldon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillingham
An overdue clean in Tillingham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A planned visit to Tillingham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
