What affects the quote in New Romney
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in New Romney, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in New Romney it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Kitchens around a place like New Romney are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a smaller place like New Romney, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
What we are called out for in New Romney
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
School kitchens, at schools like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in New Romney

Why act early in New Romney
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a smaller place like New Romney, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
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 will price it together.

Grease, kitchens and New Romney
Sea air reaches New Romney, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around New Romney, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in New Romney falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in New Romney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in New Romney
Who inspects food businesses in New Romney?
Kitchens in New Romney are inspected by Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in New Romney?
It can, as New Romney is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
