Why Harlow kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning

Grease deposits in Harlow extraction systems are the single most common cause of avoidable commercial kitchen fires.

Our Harlow teams strip canopies, degrease baffle filters, clean accessible duct runs and service extract fans, then measure the result against TR/19 Grease surface-deposit limits.

Every job in Harlow ends with a TR/19 Grease compliance certificate, deposit readings and a schematic marking any access panels we recommend installing.

Our Essex base gives Harlow operators 5 directly employed engineers, which matters when your only cleaning window is between the last cover and the breakfast prep.

Harlow population approx. 87,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our Essex base.

Heavy-use kitchens in Harlow — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.

Fixed written quotes for Harlow sites from £320, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

Average from 63 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around Harlow

Quoted a fixed price after a free survey, no hourly creep, and they worked around our closed day so we lost no covers. Honest about what needed doing and what did not.

Filters came back looking new, the plenum was spotless and the kitchen was left cleaner than they found it. Now on a six-monthly schedule. Paperwork was exactly what our broker wanted.

Our extract fan had almost stopped pulling and the kitchen was filling with smoke every service. They cleaned the impeller and housing, checked the airflow, and it is like a different kitchen. Whole team was tidy and professional.

FAQs

Extractor fan cleaning in Harlow — your questions

Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in Harlow?

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 Harlow kitchen with a commercial extract system.

What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?

We survey the Harlow 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 Harlow kitchen feels smoky.

Are your engineers insured and vetted?

All 5 engineers covering Harlow are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
