Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eridge Green
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Eridge Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Eridge Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Eridge Green
Who inspects food businesses in Eridge Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Eridge Green are carried out by Wealden council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Eridge Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Eridge Green
Food hygiene inspections in Eridge Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 31 miles out from central London, Eridge Green is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Groombridge Place is about 1.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Eridge Green is Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, about 2.8 miles north-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Eridge Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Eridge Green is about 3 miles south-west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Eridge Green or further out, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Eridge Green is one of 922 towns, villages and districts in Kent we cover for commercial clients. Maidstone is in our area too, around 18 miles away.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run

Parts of the system we cover

- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs

- Vertical risers
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Eridge Green can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
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.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
