About our kitchen extract cleaning in Borough Green
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and stale cooking odours from the system. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Borough Green? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
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.
Kitchens around a place like Borough Green are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Borough Green than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Borough Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we’re called out for in Borough Green
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
For kitchens close to Borough Green & Wrotham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Borough Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Borough Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Borough Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Borough Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Borough Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

The process
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Tell us when your site near Borough Green is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Grease, kitchens and Borough Green
