Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Farthing Green
Our technicians work in Farthing Green on TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farthing Green
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Farthing Green, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Farthing Green typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Farthing Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Farthing Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Questions from Farthing Green
Can you get to a site in Farthing Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Farthing Green included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Farthing Green?
Kitchens in Farthing Green are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
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. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Farthing 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

What we’re called out for in Farthing Green
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
In and around Farthing Green, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
