What affects the quote in Peene
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Peene
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Most calls from Peene come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Peene: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Peene, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Peene questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Peene?
Peene is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Peene?
Kitchens in Peene are inspected by Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Peene knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Peene
The coast is only about 2 miles from Peene. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Peene. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Peene 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital about 2.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Peene, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Peene is about 2 miles north-west of Folkestone, in Kent.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Peene
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cheriton Primary School or anywhere near Peene, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
