Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Pearson's Green
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Pearson's Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Kent.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: 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.
For a kitchen in or near Pearson's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has 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 carry full insurance.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Discharge points

What affects the quote in Pearson's Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Grease, kitchens and Pearson's Green
Look up Pearson's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Pearson's Green. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Pearson's Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Pearson's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

How it works

- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.

- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Pearson's Green
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, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
