Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bonnington
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Bonnington, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
Most kitchens in Bonnington fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Bonnington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Bonnington
Look up Bonnington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bonnington. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Bonnington are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. 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. Bonnington is covered by 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Westenhanger Castle is about 4.4 miles east), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Rumwold or elsewhere in Bonnington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Bonnington as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bonnington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Bonnington
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bonnington
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Bonnington, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Aldington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

FAQs for Bonnington
Can you work in Bonnington outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Bonnington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Bonnington?
Food hygiene inspections in Bonnington are carried out by Ashford council. 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 keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bonnington
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 photos.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bonnington.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
