- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Farleigh Green?
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. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Farleigh Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Farleigh Green
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Farleigh Green, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Farleigh Green usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Farleigh Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Farleigh Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Farleigh Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
FAQs for Farleigh Green
Which environmental health team covers Farleigh Green?
In Farleigh Green, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you cover smaller places like Farleigh Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farleigh Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

What a clean will not put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Farleigh Green: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Farleigh Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Farleigh Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Farleigh Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oakwood Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like East Farleigh Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What’s near Farleigh Green

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Farleigh Green
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Farleigh Green as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. If the system at a site near Farleigh Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
