How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Goathurst Common
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Kitchens in Goathurst Common book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Goathurst Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Goathurst Common.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ide Hill Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chartwell is about 2.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital about 3.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Part by part
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.
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 aren’t disturbed.
Why act early in Goathurst Common
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. It’s simpler to plan the work at Goathurst Common now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
