What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When to call us in Wimbish Green
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Historic houses near Wimbish Green, such as Horham Hall about 3.8 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wimbish Green.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Wimbish Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Wimbish Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Wimbish Green is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Wimbish Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Uttlesford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Mission Room, or anywhere in Wimbish Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wimbish Primary School or anywhere near Wimbish Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
