Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Staplestreet, typically within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and fat running down the canopy edge. Most calls from Staplestreet 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 clean in Staplestreet covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Staplestreet, 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.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. 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. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Staplestreet knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Other services in Staplestreet
Kitchen extract cleaning around Staplestreet
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Staplestreet. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Staplestreet. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Staplestreet are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Staplestreet, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, about 5.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Staplestreet is about 3 miles east of Faversham, in Kent.

Local landmarks in Staplestreet
Around Staplestreet, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Mount Ephraim Gardens and White Horse Inn and the streets around them.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.

What we are called out for in Staplestreet
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School or anywhere near Staplestreet, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Staplestreet
Who is the fire and rescue service for Staplestreet?
Fire safety enforcement in Staplestreet is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Staplestreet within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Staplestreet included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
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 information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
