- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Adisham
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Adisham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Adisham before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Adisham?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Adisham Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Adisham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for Adisham
Do you work in villages like Adisham?
Yes, Adisham is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Adisham?
Food hygiene inspections in Adisham are carried out by Canterbury City council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Adisham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways across Adisham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Adisham get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Adisham falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
