Kitchen extract cleaning in Oversland, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Oversland usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Oversland starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Oversland are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Oversland: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Oversland?
The local authority for Oversland is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Oversland in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Oversland. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Grease, kitchens and Oversland
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Oversland, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Oversland. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Oversland is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Selling station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Oversland, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
