Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dymchurch
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Dymchurch give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Dymchurch, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a smaller kitchen near Dymchurch, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Dymchurch
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Dymchurch Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT

What else we do in Dymchurch
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A site near Dymchurch normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Questions from Dymchurch
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Dymchurch?
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.
Who inspects food businesses in Dymchurch?
In Dymchurch, it’s Folkestone and Hythe council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Dymchurch
At about 1 mile from the coast, Dymchurch is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Dymchurch. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Dymchurch falls to 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Dymchurch, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Westenhanger Castle is about 4.5 miles north), access may need planning.
