TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Street
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease smells coming from the extract, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Street, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Kent.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in East Street goes.
In a village or hamlet like East Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Street
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 from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ramsgate General Hospital (about 5.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What we need to know
What to send for a quote:

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
