TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Finberry
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and fat running down the canopy edge, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Finberry, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Finberry, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Finberry: your questions answered
Can you come to Finberry after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Finberry keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Finberry?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Finberry. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A fault that closes a site in a village like Finberry affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Finberry, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Finberry kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Finberry. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Finberry get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Finberry sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Finberry is William Harvey Hospital, about 1.9 miles north-east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 4 miles north-west), access may need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Finberry, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Finberry is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Wherever you are in the TN25 postcode area, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Finberry is one of them. We also work in Maidstone, around 19 miles away.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Finberry
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
