TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Chislet
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Chislet, you get one team and one number for every site.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Chislet
If your kitchen in Chislet is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

FAQs for Chislet
Which environmental health team covers Chislet?
Kitchens in Chislet are inspected by Canterbury City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Chislet?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Chislet than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Chislet: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Chislet is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Chislet and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Chislet get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Martins Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Chislet, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chislet Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Chislet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a small place like Chislet, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chislet
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
