Kitchen extract cleaning in Sibertswold
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you’re dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Sibertswold, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Most kitchens in Sibertswold fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Sibertswold, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Sibertswold
Can you get to a site in Sibertswold?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Sibertswold?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Sibertswold
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Sibertswold, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sibertswold: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Sibertswold. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Sibertswold are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Sibertswold is 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.
For kitchens close to Shepherds Well station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Sibertswold, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
