Kitchen extract cleaning in Broomfield, Kent
We cover Broomfield for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Broomfield?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we are most often called out for:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 4.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Broomfield
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Broomfield it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Broomfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broomfield before we set off.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Can a school canteen extract in Broomfield be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broomfield. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?

Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Grease, kitchens and Broomfield
Sea air reaches Broomfield, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Broomfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broomfield. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Broomfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Herne Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
