Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brenzett
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 email us, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Brenzett, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Brenzett start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Most kitchens in Brenzett 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, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Brenzett affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brenzett
A kitchen in Brenzett builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
School kitchens, at schools like Brenzett Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Common questions in Brenzett
Do you work at weekends in Brenzett?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Brenzett can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brenzett?
That is Folkestone and Hythe council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brenzett. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Kitchen extracts in Brenzett
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Brenzett. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Brenzett is 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. In Brenzett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Eanswith's Church or elsewhere in Brenzett, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
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.
