Kitchen extract cleaning across CM3: what to expect
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in CM3, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans.
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How we quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Kitchen extract cleaning around CM3
From Chelmsford, Maldon and South Woodham Ferrers to its smaller places, CM3 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
CM3 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in CM3. In the coastal parts of CM3, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
South Woodham Ferrers: School kitchens, at schools like Elmwood Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity or anywhere around South Woodham Ferrers, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Why act early?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The report gives a recommended 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 isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
CM3: your questions answered
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
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 should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
