TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Langton Green
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Langton Green, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Langton Green
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs onwards. Kitchens in Langton Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A clean in Langton Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a smaller kitchen near Langton Green, 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. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Langton Green
Is Langton Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Langton Green?
Kitchens in Langton Green are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we will survey first.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, 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?
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.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Langton Green
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Langton Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Langton Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Langton Green are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Langton Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Langton Green is Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, about 2 miles east.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we are called out for in Langton Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
School kitchens, at schools like Langton Green Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why act early in Langton Green
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Langton Green than wait for a failure.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Langton Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a place like Langton Green, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
