Henley Street: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Henley Street in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Henley Street. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Henley Street?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Henley Street. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Henley Street?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Henley Street
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchens in Henley Street 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.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Henley Street goes.
Work in a small place like Henley Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Henley Street
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Henley Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Kitchen extracts in Henley Street
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Henley Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Henley Street are the job of Gravesham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Henley Street is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Cobham Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Henley Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Henley Street is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a place like Henley Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
