About our kitchen extract cleaning in Frant
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and poor airflow at the canopy, across discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Kitchens in Frant book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Frant, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Frant before we set off.
- 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.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Frant
Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Frant. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Frant is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Frant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Frant
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Frant and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When to call us in Frant
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere in Frant, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Questions from Frant
Can you get to a site in Frant?
Yes. Frant 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.
Which fire service covers Frant?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Frant. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
