Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Perrywood
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Perrywood give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Perrywood, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Perrywood starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Perrywood
Perrywood is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Perrywood sits within the area of 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Selling Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Perrywood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Perrywood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Perrywood is about 4 miles south-east of Faversham, in Kent. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Perrywood and the rest of Kent. Perrywood is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Maidstone, about 17 miles away.

Questions from Perrywood
Will you come out to Perrywood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Perrywood is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Perrywood?
Perrywood 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.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What else we do in Perrywood
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a small place like Perrywood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why act early in Perrywood
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Somewhere as small as Perrywood, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
