Kitchen extract cleaning in SS15: how it works
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and people most often call us about stale cooking odours from the system and a system with no record of a TR19 clean.
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go.
- You send pictures 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What you’ll pay
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Around Laindon
In Laindon, that means kitchens and buildings near Gloucester Park, Merrylands Primary School and The James Hornsby School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Laindon station, about 0.5 miles south-east. A little further out are Basildon University Hospital (1.8 miles south-east) and Eastgate Shopping Centre (1.8 miles east). For a walk, there’s Langdon Nature Reserve.
Kitchen extracts across SS15
From Basildon, Laindon and Great Berry to its smaller places, SS15 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SS15 and beyond.
Laindon: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Merrylands Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Laindon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- An undersized canopy or fan
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in SS15 and across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SS15
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice should we give?
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.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
