Questions from Gill's Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Gill's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Gill's Green are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will you come out to Gill's Green?
Yes, Gill's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
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, and the quote follows that.
What accreditations do you hold?
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.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Gill's Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Gill's Green, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Gill's Green typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Kitchen extracts in Gill's Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Gill's Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Gill's Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Gill's Green. 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.
For schools such as Marlborough House School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Scotney Castle is about 4.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Gill's Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Gill's Green.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
