About our kitchen extract cleaning in Kippington
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Kippington, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Kippington, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a smaller kitchen near Kippington, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a place like Kippington are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- 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 about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kippington sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Kippington
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What we are called out for in Kippington
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
For kitchens close to Sevenoaks station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- Each visit written up, with photos
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
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.
