Kitchen extract cleaning in CM12: how it works
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in CM12, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey.
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across CM12: local notes
From Billericay, Steeple View and Noak Hill to its smaller places, CM12 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in CM12, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Billericay: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sunnymede Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Mayflower Community Hospital about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in CM12 and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
FAQs for CM12
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
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. Any part without access is noted.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
