About our kitchen extract cleaning in Parker's Green
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help, from discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Most calls from Parker's Green come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Parker's Green goes.
In a small place like Parker's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. 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 straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Parker's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Parker's Green?
Yes, Parker's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Parker's Green?
In Parker's Green, it’s Tonbridge and Malling council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Parker's Green before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Places near Parker's Green
What else we do in Parker's Green
Common problems we fix in Parker's Green
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Parker's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
The report gives a recommended 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.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
