Kitchen extract cleaning in Cheeseman's Green, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Cheeseman's Green, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Cheeseman's Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Cheeseman's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. If the system at a site near Cheeseman's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Questions from Cheeseman's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Cheeseman's Green?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cheeseman's Green. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Cheeseman's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cheeseman's Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
The process
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cheeseman's Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Grease, kitchens and Cheeseman's Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Cheeseman's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Cheeseman's Green. 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. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Cheeseman's Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cheeseman's Green?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, 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’re most often called out for:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 4.3 miles north-west), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Cheeseman's Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
