TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Godinton
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Godinton give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Godinton? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a smaller place like Godinton, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Why act early in Godinton
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Godinton at a time that suits you.

When to call us in Godinton
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Godinton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and photos are included

Questions from Godinton
Do you work overnight in Godinton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Godinton can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Godinton?
Kitchens in Godinton are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Godinton.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
