About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stanford
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Stanford, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Stanford it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Stanford goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Stanford, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Stanford
Do you cover smaller places like Stanford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanford is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Stanford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Stanford can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Stanford kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Stanford, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Stanford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stanford. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in Stanford. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Stanford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Westenhanger station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brockhill Park Performing Arts College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stanford before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Stanford
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
