About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bean
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and stale cooking odours from the system. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Bean, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a small place like Bean, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we’re called out for in Bean
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bean is Darent Valley Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What else we do in Bean
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
Why it’s worth doing now in Bean
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Bean, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
