About our kitchen extract cleaning in Cop Street
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 Cop Street, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Cop Street, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Cop Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When to call us in Cop Street
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Cop Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What records you will receive afterwards
Common questions in Cop Street
Can a school canteen extract in Cop Street be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cop Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cop Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Cop Street is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you work in Cop Street?
Yes. We cover Cop Street and the rest of Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Somewhere as small as Cop Street, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Cop Street
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cop Street.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.

Cop Street kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Cop Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Cop Street sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cop Street. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Cop Street (Goodnestone Park is about 4.1 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
