Kitchen extract cleaning in Kearsney, Kent
Kitchen extract cleaning across Kearsney and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Why it’s worth doing now in Kearsney
An overdue clean in Kearsney is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Kearsney
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Kearsney start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Around a smaller place like Kearsney, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Kearsney
At about 3 miles from the coast, Kearsney is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kearsney. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. The fire and rescue service for Kearsney 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Buckland Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kearsney, about 1.5 miles south-east. Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Kearsney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Kearsney station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate

- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote

When it’s something else

- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Kearsney
Can you get to a site in Kearsney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Kearsney included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Kearsney?
Kearsney is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
