TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Blue Town
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Blue Town, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Blue Town, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Kent.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Blue Town gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Blue Town
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Blue Town
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Blue Town
Sea air reaches Blue Town, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 25 takeaways in and around Blue Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Blue Town get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as St Edward's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Sheerness-On-Sea station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Blue Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Blue Town questions
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Blue Town?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Blue Town gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which environmental health team covers Blue Town?
In Blue Town, it’s Swale council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Blue Town when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload
