Kitchen extraction cleaning in New Pound
For kitchen extract cleaning in New Pound, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in New Pound
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in New Pound, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in New Pound goes well beyond the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like New Pound, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in New Pound
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mereworth Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Extract fans
- Discharge points

What affects the quote in New Pound
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Common questions in New Pound
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for New Pound?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers New Pound. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in New Pound?
Yes. New Pound is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like New Pound, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
