What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Pembury
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have a system with no record of a TR19 clean and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Pembury covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Pembury, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A quieter site near Pembury still needs its system looked after.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Pembury questions
Will you come out to Pembury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pembury is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Pembury be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Pembury. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Pembury, so let us know how to reach it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Pembury: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars across Pembury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Pembury. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Pembury falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Upper Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Pembury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Pembury School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tunbridge Wells Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pembury, about 0.9 miles west.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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. That’s our job.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
