Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Godmersham

- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Questions from Godmersham
Can you work in Godmersham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Godmersham doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Godmersham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Godmersham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Godmersham run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Godmersham
Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Godmersham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. At about 50 miles from central London, Godmersham sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Godmersham, about 5.8 miles south. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Godmersham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Godmersham is calmer for everyone.
