Part by part
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.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Glassenbury
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. When a restaurant in Glassenbury asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is 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. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Glassenbury and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Glassenbury
Can the work in Glassenbury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Glassenbury keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Glassenbury?
Yes. Glassenbury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Common problems we fix in Glassenbury
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Scotney Castle, about 4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Glassenbury; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
