Kitchen duct cleaning in Hollow Street
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Hollow Street, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Hollow Street normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Hollow Street fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Hollow Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters

What we are called out for in Hollow Street
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hollow Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hollow Street before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hollow Street: the local picture
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hollow Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Hollow Street is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Hollow Street get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check.

A hospital like St Martins Hospital, about 5.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chislet Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
