Wimbish kitchen extract cleaning
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Wimbish? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.

- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wimbish
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Wimbish, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Kitchens in Wimbish book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a small place like Wimbish, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Wimbish
Which fire authority looks after Wimbish?
Wimbish is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Wimbish within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Wimbish
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know

- Any previous report or certificate

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Wimbish
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Planning a trip to Wimbish ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Wimbish, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
When to call us in Wimbish
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wimbish Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
