Kitchen extract cleaning in Wix Green, done properly
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Wix Green, usually within one working day. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Wix Green, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Essex.
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.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wix Green run smoothly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Questions from Wix Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wix Green?
That’s Tendring council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wix Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Wix Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Wix Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How long will the clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. 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?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Wix Green
Sea air reaches Wix Green, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The fire and rescue service for Wix Green is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Wix Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tendring council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Wix Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Wix Green, such as Thorpe Hall about 4.2 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
