Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Speldhurst
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Most calls from Speldhurst come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Speldhurst, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Speldhurst kitchens: local notes
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Speldhurst, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Speldhurst. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Speldhurst is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Speldhurst (Penshurst Place is about 2.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Speldhurst is calmer for everyone.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Speldhurst
Do you cover smaller places like Speldhurst?
Yes, Speldhurst is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Speldhurst?
Fire safety enforcement in Speldhurst is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
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, so it doesn’t spread.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When to call us in Speldhurst
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Sussex Hospital about 2.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What happens on the day
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. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Speldhurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
