Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Boughton Monchelsea
Across Boughton Monchelsea, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you’re dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Monchelsea, you get one team and one number for every site.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Monchelsea, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
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, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs

Boughton Monchelsea questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Boughton Monchelsea?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Boughton Monchelsea in the summer holidays?

Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Boughton Monchelsea
There are about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops across Boughton Monchelsea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Boughton Monchelsea are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Boughton Monchelsea. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Boughton Monchelsea (Stoneacre is about 2.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School or anywhere near Boughton Monchelsea, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Oakwood Hospital about 3.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, which is where we come in.
