The process

- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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.

Advice
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Northfleet Green
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. If you’re dealing with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers onwards. Kitchens in Northfleet Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 Northfleet Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Northfleet Green 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business

Leave it or put it right?

Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. If the system at a site near Northfleet Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Common problems we fix in Northfleet Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Painters Ash Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Northfleet Green
Can the work in Northfleet Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Northfleet Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Northfleet Green?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
