Why Chelmsford kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning
Grease deposits in Chelmsford extraction systems are the single most common cause of avoidable commercial kitchen fires.
We treat Chelmsford sites as a system: canopy, filters, plenum, duct risers, fan housing and discharge point all get cleaned and verified, not just the parts you can see.
You keep a photographic record and certificate for each Chelmsford kitchen, ready for insurance renewal or an unannounced inspection.
With around 111,000 residents, Chelmsford supports a dense mix of leisure centre cafes, care home kitchens, and each of those kitchens has a different extract layout. We size the crew to the site rather than sending a one-van fits-all team.
Chelmsford population approx. 111,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our Essex base.
Heavy-use kitchens in Chelmsford — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.
Fixed written quotes for Chelmsford sites from £350, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

What Chelmsford kitchens say about us
5.0
Average from 93 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around Chelmsford
Environmental health flagged our extract during a visit. They got a crew to Chelmsford inside two days and the certificate cleared it. Honest about what needed doing and what did not.

Booked them after our insurer asked for a TR/19 certificate we did not have. Crew arrived in Chelmsford at 11pm, stripped the canopy and duct, and the report with before-and-after photos landed the next morning. Paperwork was exactly what our broker wanted.

Quoted a fixed price after a free survey, no hourly creep, and they worked around our closed day so we lost no covers. Whole team was tidy and professional.

FAQs
Extractor fan cleaning in Chelmsford — your questions
Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in Chelmsford?
Fire safety law requires you to manage grease build-up, and most insurers write TR/19 Grease compliance into your policy. In practice, Essex environmental health teams and your insurer both expect documented cleaning for any Chelmsford kitchen with a commercial extract system.
What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?
We survey the Chelmsford system, clean everything reachable, and quote separately for fitting compliant access hatches so the whole run can be certified next time.
Do you clean the extract fan itself?
Yes — impeller, housing, motor casing and discharge are all stripped, degreased and rebalanced where needed. A clogged impeller is the usual reason a Chelmsford kitchen feels smoky.
Are your engineers insured and vetted?
All 6 engineers covering Chelmsford are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
