Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Broom Street
Any kitchen we clean in Broom Street gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Broom Street? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Broom Street covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Broom Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Broom Street: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Broom Street is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Fire safety in Broom Street falls to 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 Broom Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale 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.
A hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital, about 5.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Graveney Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Broom Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Around Broom Street
Typical jobs here are in premises near South Swale and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Faversham station, roughly 2.1 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.6 miles north-east).
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Why act early in Broom Street
Any food business in Broom Street 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Broom Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Questions from Broom Street
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Broom Street?
It can. Broom Street is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you work in villages like Broom Street?
Yes. Broom Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We have been trading since 2009.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
How much notice should we give?
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.

Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:

- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
