Kitchen duct cleaning in Mockbeggar
Across Mockbeggar, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers. Most calls from Mockbeggar 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.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Mockbeggar, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to Mockbeggar is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
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.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Mockbeggar?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Mockbeggar than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mockbeggar?
That is Medway council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mockbeggar. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

What we’re called out for in Mockbeggar
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; French Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mockbeggar, about 2.4 miles south.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
