Kitchen extract cleaning for Frogham and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Frogham, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Frogham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Frogham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Frogham get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Frogham is 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.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Frogham.
- 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.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham
Do you work overnight in Frogham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Frogham needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Frogham?
Fire safety enforcement in Frogham is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Frogham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 will price it together.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Frogham?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Frogham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
