How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rabbit's Cross.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Rabbit's Cross
Across Rabbit's Cross, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Rabbit's Cross, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
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 can’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.

Rabbit's Cross questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Rabbit's Cross?
Kitchens in Rabbit's Cross are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Rabbit's Cross?
Yes, Rabbit's Cross is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Rabbit's Cross
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Rabbit's Cross, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Historic houses near Rabbit's Cross, such as Stoneacre about 3.9 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
