Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Molash and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Molash
Across Molash, 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. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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.
Work in a small place like Molash starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Molash: the local picture
We cover Molash, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Molash is covered by 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Molash, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Molash, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 3.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Molash is about 6 miles south of Faversham, in Kent. Molash gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Molash among them. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 16 miles from Molash.
Here we cover the CT4 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning. That includes premises on The Street, Pound Lane and Church Lane and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Molash, we cover Shottenden (2 miles north-east), Bilting (2 miles south-east), Perrywood (3 miles north), Mountain Street (3 miles east) and Godmersham (3 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (6 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles north-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles north-west), Folkestone (15 miles south-east), Whitstable (10 miles north-east) and Faversham (6 miles north).

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Molash knowing what to expect.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- 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.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Molash questions
Is Molash within the area you cover?
Yes. Molash is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Molash outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Molash needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
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 goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Molash, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
