Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Beltinge

- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Kitchen extract cleaning in Beltinge, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help, from extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a smaller kitchen near Beltinge, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Beltinge
Beltinge questions
Will you come out to Beltinge?
Yes, Beltinge 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 fire and rescue service is responsible for Beltinge?
Beltinge is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Beltinge: the local picture
Beltinge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Beltinge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Beltinge sits within the area of 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Beltinge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 4.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a place like Beltinge, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Beltinge can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Beltinge at a time that suits you.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
