Kitchen extract cleaning in CB11: how it works
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and rancid smells from grease in the duct.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Local landmarks in Newport
Around Newport, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near White Horse Inn, Joyce Frankland Academy and Church of St Mary the Virgin, among other places. Newport’s nearest station is Newport (Essex) station, roughly 0.5 miles south-east. Well-known places in the area include Saffron Walden Community Hospital (3.3 miles north-east) and Saffron Walden Museum (3 miles north-east). Not far away are Hales and Shadwell Woods.
Kitchen extracts across CB11
Kitchens across CB11 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Newport: For schools such as Joyce Frankland Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Saffron Walden Community Hospital about 3.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
CB11: your questions answered
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
