Bough Beech kitchen extract cleaning
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Bough Beech, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Bough Beech
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Bough Beech, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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.

When to call us in Bough Beech
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A hospital like Tandridge Priory, about 5.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Do you work in Bough Beech?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Bough Beech.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Bough Beech, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What affects the quote in Bough Beech
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Bough Beech kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Bough Beech. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Bough Beech is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Bough Beech get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hever Castle is about 1.1 miles south-west), access may need planning.
