Kitchen extraction cleaning in Boughton Aluph
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Boughton Aluph. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

When to call us in Boughton Aluph
In Boughton Aluph, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Where a hall near All Saints’ Church, or anywhere in Boughton Aluph, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Aluph
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, 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 extra access panels can be added. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Boughton Aluph, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A clean in Boughton Aluph covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Boughton Aluph, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Boughton Aluph run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

Boughton Aluph kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Boughton Aluph. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Boughton Aluph, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Boughton Aluph is covered by 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wye School or anywhere near Boughton Aluph, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Boughton Aluph (Godinton House is about 4.2 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Aluph
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Somewhere as small as Boughton Aluph, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

FAQs for Boughton Aluph
Do you cover smaller places like Boughton Aluph?
Yes, Boughton Aluph is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Boughton Aluph?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
