Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Smallbridge
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Smallbridge, normally within one working day. If you have a system with no record of a TR19 clean and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Smallbridge, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a kitchen in or near Smallbridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Planning a trip to Smallbridge ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Smallbridge run smoothly.
- You send photos 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit

What else we do in Smallbridge
What we’re called out for in Smallbridge
A kitchen in Smallbridge 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 5.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Smallbridge
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Smallbridge?
Kitchens in Smallbridge are inspected by Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Smallbridge?
That’s 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.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you cover Smallbridge?
Yes. Our technicians work in Smallbridge, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wash or exchange the filters often
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Smallbridge kitchens: local notes
Look up Smallbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Smallbridge. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Smallbridge sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Smallbridge are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Smallbridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Scotney Castle, about 2.4 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Smallbridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
