Kitchen extract cleaning in Haine
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Haine kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Haine. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Haine. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Haine is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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 a church or community hall kitchen, near St Christopher's Church or elsewhere in Haine, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Dame Janet Primary Academy or anywhere near Haine, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital about 1.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions from Haine
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Haine?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in Haine be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Haine, the Food Standards Agency lists about 21 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you hold?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Haine, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
