Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Tilty
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. 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.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Tilty
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Tilty, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Essex.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Tilty starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Tilty
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tilty?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tilty. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Tilty?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Tilty can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you cover Tilty?
Yes. We cover Tilty and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tilty, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Tilty
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tilty. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Tilty get their food hygiene inspections from Uttlesford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Tilty 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tilty (Horham Hall is about 2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Tilty is about 3 miles north-west of Great Dunmow, in Essex. Whether your site is in the middle of Tilty or further out, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Tilty among them. For sites nearby, see our Chelmsford page, about 14 miles away.

Around Tilty
In Tilty, that means kitchens and buildings near The Rising Sun Public House. For rail, the closest station is Stansted Airport station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Little Easton Moat (1.8 miles south). Open spaces near Tilty include West Wood.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tilty
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Tilty, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Tilty affects everyone who depends on it.
