Kitchen duct cleaning in Green Street Green
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Green Street Green, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and grease smells coming from the extract, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Most calls from Green Street Green come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Most kitchens in Green Street Green fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Green Street Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Green Street Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Green Street Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Green Street Green are the job of Dartford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Green Street 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Darent Valley Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Green Street Green. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Green Street Green?

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Planning a trip to Green Street Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street Green
A kitchen in Green Street Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Fat running down the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like Greenlands Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Green Street Green.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
