Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Most kitchens in a town like Deal can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Deal
Deal is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 34 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Deal and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Deal is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Saviour's or anywhere around Deal, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A kitchen near Deal station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as Castle Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Deal questions
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Deal?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Deal than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you come to Deal after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Deal doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Is Deal in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Deal, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Deal is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Work in Deal is normally booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What staff can safely do
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
