Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Fleeden
We cover Fleeden for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. In a small place like Fleeden, 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 can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- Photo reports with every job

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Fleeden
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across extract fans, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fleeden: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Fleeden starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Fleeden
Fire safety in Fleeden falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Fleeden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Fleeden (Godinton House is about 2.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like John Wallis Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Fleeden: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fleeden?
Food hygiene inspections in Fleeden are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fleeden?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fleeden. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: 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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
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 so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Fleeden?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Fleeden?
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Harvey Hospital about 4.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking

What affects the quote in Fleeden
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Fleeden, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
