Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bexon
Any kitchen we clean in Bexon gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Bexon? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Bexon goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Bexon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs 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.
Bexon questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bexon during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bexon. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bexon?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bexon. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bexon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

When to call us in Bexon
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For schools such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bexon
An overdue clean in Bexon is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bexon rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bexon
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Bexon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Bexon are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Bexon is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Bexon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
