TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Sevenscore
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Sevenscore, you get one team and one number for every site.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Sevenscore starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What affects the quote in Sevenscore
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Kitchen extracts in Sevenscore
Sea air reaches Sevenscore, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Sevenscore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Thanet council inspect food businesses in Sevenscore. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Sevenscore (Quex Park is about 2.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sevenscore is Ramsgate General Hospital, about 2.8 miles east.

What else we do in Sevenscore
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
When to call us in Sevenscore
A kitchen in Sevenscore builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Commuter trade near Thanet Parkway station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Sevenscore, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Sevenscore
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Sevenscore?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Sevenscore than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which fire service covers Sevenscore?
Sevenscore is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is Sevenscore in your area?
Yes. We work in Sevenscore and the rest of Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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.
How long will the clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
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.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
