Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Mowshurst
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Mowshurst, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for stale cooking odours from the system and poor airflow at the canopy, on vertical risers, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Mowshurst typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Mowshurst starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Mowshurst: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Mowshurst. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mowshurst. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Mowshurst. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Mowshurst is Tandridge Priory, about 3.8 miles north-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Edenbridge Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Commuter trade near Edenbridge station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
