TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lamberhurst Quarter
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lamberhurst Quarter from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lamberhurst Quarter.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Lamberhurst Quarter
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Lamberhurst Quarter, normally within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Lamberhurst Quarter covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Lamberhurst Quarter: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Lamberhurst Quarter, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points

Questions from Lamberhurst Quarter
Which fire service covers Lamberhurst Quarter?
Fire safety enforcement in Lamberhurst Quarter is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Lamberhurst Quarter within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Lamberhurst Quarter
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lamberhurst Quarter
Lamberhurst Quarter, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Lamberhurst Quarter. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Scotney Castle is about 2.7 miles south-east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lamberhurst Quarter is Pembury Hospital, about 3.1 miles north-west.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You get a photo report after every clean. 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.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
