Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cooling
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right, from vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A clean in Cooling covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a small place like Cooling, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Cooling, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Managing agents and facilities teams in Cooling
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Cooling
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved

Kitchen extracts in Cooling
The coast is only about 3 miles from Cooling. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cooling. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Cooling sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St James' Church or elsewhere in Cooling, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cooling (Restoration House is about 4.9 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cooling is French Hospital, about 4.8 miles south.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
