Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fir Toll
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on vertical risers, plenums and filters and discharge points. When a restaurant in Fir Toll asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 Fir Toll goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Fir Toll, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every 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.

Fir Toll questions
Is Fir Toll within the area you cover?
Yes. Fir Toll is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Fir Toll?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Fir Toll needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Fir Toll
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Fir Toll and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fir Toll. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Fir Toll 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pluckley Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Fir Toll, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Fir Toll, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Pluckley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a small place like Fir Toll, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
What affects the quote in Fir Toll
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fir Toll and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
