Kitchen extraction cleaning in London Beach
Kitchen extract cleaning for London Beach and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere as small as London Beach, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, 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.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in London Beach
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Most calls from London Beach come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Kitchen extract cleaning in London Beach: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of London Beach. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in London Beach get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in London Beach falls to 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around London Beach (Smallhythe Place is about 4.2 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
London Beach is about 8 miles west of Ashford, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of London Beach or further out, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Maidstone is in our area too, around 14 miles away.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in London Beach
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in London Beach, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for London Beach
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in London Beach?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers London Beach. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in London Beach?
Kitchens in London Beach are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Do you work in London Beach?
Yes. London Beach is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
