- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Marsh Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marsh Green
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 film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Marsh Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Marsh Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
FAQs for Marsh Green
Can you work in Marsh Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire service covers Marsh Green?
Marsh Green is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is Marsh Green in your area?
Yes. Marsh Green is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Marsh Green kitchens: local notes
There are about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marsh Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Marsh Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Marsh Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital, about 3.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Marsh Green Mission Church, or anywhere in Marsh Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Marsh Green (Hever Castle is about 2.6 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Marsh Green is about 5 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Marsh Green, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning.

Landmarks near Marsh Green

Well-known places in the area include Haxted Watermill Museum (1.5 miles north-west) and Queen Victoria Hospital (3.8 miles south-west).
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
