Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Postling Green
Any kitchen we clean in Postling Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help. Most calls from Postling Green 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.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Postling Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Postling Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Postling Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Postling Green is handled by 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Postling Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Postling Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Postling Green
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Postling Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Why it’s worth doing now in Postling Green
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. With notice, the visit to Postling Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Postling Green: the local picture
Postling Green sits within the area of 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. Postling Green, about 54 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Westenhanger Castle is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Aldington Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in Postling Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

A little further out are William Harvey Hospital (4.6 miles north-west) and Lympne Castle (2.8 miles east). The countryside around Postling Green includes Hatch Park.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
