Our kitchen extract cleaning service in CO6
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in CO6, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with grease smells coming from the extract and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters.
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Local landmarks in Coggeshall
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Woolpack Inn, Honywood Community Science School and St Peter ad Vincula, among other places. The closest station to Coggeshall is Kelvedon station, about 2.4 miles south.

Where we work in CO6
From Braintree, Mile End and Coggeshall to its smaller places, CO6 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Coggeshall: School kitchens, at schools like Honywood Community Science School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Halstead Hospital about 5.6 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- An undersized canopy or fan
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in CO6
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
