Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fawkham Green
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Fawkham Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fawkham Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Fawkham Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Fawkham Green.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why act early in Fawkham Green
If your kitchen in Fawkham Green is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Common problems we fix in Fawkham Green
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Darent Valley Hospital (about 4.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Fawkham Green
Will you come out to Fawkham Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Fawkham Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Fawkham Green out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fawkham Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
