FAQs for Denstroude
Do you cover smaller places like Denstroude?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Denstroude is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Denstroude?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Denstroude
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Kitchens in Denstroude book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Denstroude, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Denstroude
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Denstroude
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Denstroude, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Denstroude
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
A TR19® clean in Denstroude doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
