Kitchen extraction cleaning in East Stourmouth
Need kitchen extract cleaning in East Stourmouth? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Somewhere as small as East Stourmouth, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Stourmouth
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you are dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right, from discharge points, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in East Stourmouth covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like East Stourmouth, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common problems we fix in East Stourmouth
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around East Stourmouth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to East Stourmouth can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Common questions in East Stourmouth
Do you work at weekends in East Stourmouth?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in East Stourmouth does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after East Stourmouth?
Fire safety enforcement in East Stourmouth 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes 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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in East Stourmouth and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log 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.
