What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: 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.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stalisfield Green
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Stalisfield Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and poor airflow at the canopy, on plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans. Kitchens in Stalisfield Green book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Stalisfield Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Stalisfield Green kitchens: local notes
About 43 miles out from central London, Stalisfield Green is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Stalisfield Green 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 2.7 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Stalisfield Green is about 6 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Sites in Stalisfield Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Stalisfield Green is one of them. There’s also a page for Maidstone, about 12 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in ME13 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Hillside Road and Stalisfield Road or a nearby road, we can help. Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Stalisfield (1 mile east), The Valley (1 mile north), Stocker's Head (2 miles south), Charing Hill (2 miles south) and Eastling (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (8 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles east), Sittingbourne (7 miles north-west), Whitstable (12 miles north-east) and Faversham (6 miles north-east).
What’s near Stalisfield Green
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Plough Inn and Spuckles and Kennelling Woods, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Charing station, roughly 2.5 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Newnham Castle (3 miles north).
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stalisfield Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When to call us in Stalisfield Green
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stalisfield Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Stalisfield Green
Do you work overnight in Stalisfield Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Stalisfield Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Stalisfield Green?
Yes, Stalisfield Green is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to Stalisfield Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
