Kitchen extract cleaning in CM14: how it works
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer.
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across CM14: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across CM14 takes in places such as Brentwood, Pilgrims Hatch and Kelvedon Hatch and the villages in between. Every place on our CM14 list (13 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in CM14 and beyond.
Brook Street: If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brook Street (Hare Hall is about 3.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Brook Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
What affects the quote in CM14
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

CM14 questions
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in CM14?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
