About our kitchen extract cleaning in Ram Lane
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Ram Lane, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Ram Lane covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Ram Lane goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Ram Lane, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

Kitchen extracts in Ram Lane
Kitchens in Ram Lane get their food hygiene inspections from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. We cover Ram Lane, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hayesbrook School or anywhere near Ram Lane, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Godinton House, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Ram Lane; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ram Lane is William Harvey Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-east.
Ram Lane is about 4 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of Ram Lane to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Ram Lane among them. We also work in Maidstone, around 14 miles away.

What else we do in Ram Lane
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Ram Lane
Which environmental health team covers Ram Lane?
Kitchens in Ram Lane are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire service covers Ram Lane?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ram Lane. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you work in Ram Lane?
Yes. Our technicians work in Ram Lane, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
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.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Planning a trip to Ram Lane ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Ram Lane, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
