Kitchen duct cleaning in Flemings
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Flemings, normally within one working day. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Flemings, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Flemings
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
For schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Flemings.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

FAQs for Flemings
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Flemings?
Food hygiene inspections in Flemings are carried out by Dover council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Flemings?
Yes, Flemings is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Flemings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flemings
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Flemings
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Flemings. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Flemings, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Flemings falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 2.7 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Flemings, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Flemings is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Flemings gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. There’s also a page for Maidstone, about 32 miles away.

Around Flemings

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
