Kitchen extract cleaning in Newington, Kent
Kitchen extract cleaning across Newington and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Newington
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Newington, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Newington start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Newington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Newington
Can school kitchens in Newington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Newington. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Newington?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Newington. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a place like Newington are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
What we are called out for in Newington
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the price is fixed
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Newington kitchens: local notes
At about 3 miles from the coast, Newington is close enough for sea air to matter. 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 5 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Newington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Newington sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For kitchens close to Newington station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Medway Maritime Hospital about 5.7 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
