Bapchild kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Bapchild, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bapchild and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bapchild
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Bapchild, typically within one working day. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Bapchild start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Bapchild: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Bapchild 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bapchild
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Bapchild, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Bapchild falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Bapchild get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rodmersham School or anywhere near Bapchild, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bapchild (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Bapchild, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Bapchild
Which environmental health team covers Bapchild?
The local authority for Bapchild is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bapchild during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bapchild. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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.
