Kitchen extract cleaning in Sharnal Street
Any kitchen we clean in Sharnal Street gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Medway.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Sharnal Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sharnal Street?
In Sharnal Street, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Restoration House, about 4.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Sharnal Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured

Questions from Sharnal Street
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sharnal Street?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sharnal Street. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Sharnal Street?
It can. Salt air reaches Sharnal Street, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is Sharnal Street in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Sharnal Street included.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
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 pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Sharnal Street
The coast is only about 2 miles from Sharnal Street. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Sharnal Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Sharnal Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Sharnal Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like High Halstow Primary Academy for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What staff can safely do
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, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Sharnal Street, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
