Sarre kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Sarre from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Sarre
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Kitchens in Sarre book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A clean in Sarre covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Sarre starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
FAQs for Sarre
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sarre?
In Sarre, it’s Thanet council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sarre?
Sarre is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sarre and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area

- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sarre?
A kitchen in Sarre builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Nicholas or elsewhere in Sarre, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

What else we do in Sarre
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Somewhere as small as Sarre, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extracts in Sarre
At about 3 miles from the coast, Sarre is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Sarre. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Sarre, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Thanet council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Quex Park is about 4.1 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
