Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Beltring
Kitchen extract cleaning across Beltring and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Beltring
Across Beltring, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Beltring it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Beltring, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Beltring knowing what to expect.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Beltring
A kitchen in Beltring builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
For kitchens close to Beltring station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Comparing quotes

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Beltring questions
Is Beltring within the area you cover?
Yes. Beltring is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Beltring?
Fire safety enforcement in Beltring is handled by 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 do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What affects the quote in Beltring
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, 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.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Beltring
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Beltring
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Beltring, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Beltring is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Beltring. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tunbridge Wells Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary or elsewhere in Beltring, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
