What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Cliffs End
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 Cliffs End, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you’re dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Cliffs End, you get one team and one number for every site.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Cliffs End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Cliffs End
At about 1 mile from the coast, Cliffs End is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Cliffs End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Thanet council inspect food businesses in Cliffs End. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Chilton Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near St Mary, or anywhere in Cliffs End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Thanet Parkway station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a village like Cliffs End are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

Related advice
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Cliffs End
Who is the fire and rescue service for Cliffs End?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does the sea air around Cliffs End make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Cliffs End gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Somewhere as small as Cliffs End, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
