TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Chilmington Green
Kitchen extract cleaning for Chilmington Green, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Chilmington Green
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. Kitchens in Chilmington Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Chilmington Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Chilmington Green
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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 Chilmington Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Chilmington Green?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Chilmington Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Chilmington Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How the visit works
We are 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. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Chilmington Green before we set off.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Chilmington Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chilmington Green. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. In Chilmington Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Chilmington Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Godinton House is about 1.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Great Chart Primary School or anywhere near Chilmington Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Chilmington Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
