Tye Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tye Green?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tye Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Tye Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Is Tye Green in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Tye Green included.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Tye Green
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. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. When a restaurant in Tye Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Tye Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tye Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Saffron Walden Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Tye Green, about 3.3 miles north-west.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Tye Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
