FAQs for Sandwich Bay Estate
Can the work in Sandwich Bay Estate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandwich Bay Estate?
Yes. Sandwich Bay Estate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Sandwich Bay Estate
Any kitchen we clean in Sandwich Bay Estate gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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’re dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and extract fans onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Sandwich Bay Estate start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
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 Sandwich Bay Estate goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Sandwich Bay Estate, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Sandwich Bay Estate
Sandwich Bay Estate is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Sandwich Bay Estate is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sandwich Bay Estate. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Walmer Castle is about 4.6 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ramsgate General Hospital about 4.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sandwich Bay Estate and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos 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 affects the quote in Sandwich Bay Estate
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sandwich Bay Estate
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sir Roger Manwood's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Sandwich Bay Estate as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sandwich Bay Estate rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Part by part
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
