Kitchen extract cleaning in Broomhill
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Broomhill, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. Most calls from Broomhill come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Broomhill, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Broomhill.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Broomhill
Which environmental health team covers Broomhill?
Kitchens in Broomhill are inspected by Dover council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Broomhill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Broomhill can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
