Kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Street, Kent
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Broad Street, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Broad Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Street, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or 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. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Broad Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

Kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Street: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broad Street. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fire safety in Broad Street falls to 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. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broad Street. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 2.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Street?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Leeds Castle, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Broad Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Questions from Broad Street
Is Broad Street within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Broad Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Broad Street can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What should I send you?
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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
