How kitchen extract cleaning works in SS6
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and years of baked-on grease in the ducts.
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
- 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Near you in Rayleigh
Around Rayleigh, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near FitzWimarc School, Glebe Primary School and Church of Holy Trinity, among other places.

Open spaces near Rayleigh include Little Haven Nature Reserve.
Where we work in SS6
From Rayleigh, Rochford and Thundersley to its smaller places, SS6 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. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SS6 and beyond.
Rayleigh: For schools such as Glebe Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Rayleigh station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SS6
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
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 cannot be reached.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
In SS6, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
SS6: your questions answered
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
