Kitchen extract cleaning in Stockland Green, Kent
Kitchen extract cleaning for Stockland Green, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stockland Green
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Stockland Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Stockland Green, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Stockland Green goes.
For a kitchen in or near Stockland Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stockland Green
A kitchen in Stockland Green 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. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Sussex Hospital about 1.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stockland Green
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stockland Green is calmer for everyone.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Stockland Green questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Stockland Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 15 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stockland Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stockland Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Stockland Green are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Stockland Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
