Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Brookland
Across Brookland, 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. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We are often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Brookland it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brookland: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Brookland starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brookland
Any food business in Brookland can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What else we do in Brookland
Brookland: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Brookland?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Brookland?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brookland needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Brookland?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Common problems we fix in Brookland
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
School kitchens, at schools like Brookland Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
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.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Brookland
Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in Brookland. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. At about 53 miles from central London, Brookland sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Augustine's Church or anywhere around Brookland, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Brookland can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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 about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
