Managing agents and facilities teams in Kit's Coty
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Kit's Coty.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kit's Coty: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kit's Coty?
In Kit's Coty, it’s Tonbridge and Malling council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Kit's Coty during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Kit's Coty. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Kit's Coty?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Kit's Coty
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Why act early in Kit's Coty
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. If the system at a site near Kit's Coty fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- We are fully insured
Read our cost guide or how to check a contractor.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we are called out for in Kit's Coty
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Alban's Church or elsewhere in Kit's Coty, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
