Questions from Lullingstone
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lullingstone?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Lullingstone?
Kitchens in Lullingstone are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which sectors do you work in?
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 we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lullingstone, done properly
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you’re dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Lullingstone asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lullingstone and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Lullingstone kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Lullingstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Lullingstone. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Lullingstone is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Orpington Hospital about 4.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of Saint Botolph, or anywhere in Lullingstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Lullingstone
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Lullingstone?
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 from there it travels on to the fan.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Commuter trade near Eynsford station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
