How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Egerton
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 grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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.
Work in a small place like Egerton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Egerton
Egerton is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Egerton get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Egerton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Egerton is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Egerton, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Egerton.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Egerton
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Egerton is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why Egerton businesses choose us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Egerton and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Other services in Egerton
Egerton: your questions answered
Can the work in Egerton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Egerton?
That is Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Egerton. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
When to call us in Egerton
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Egerton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
