About our kitchen extract cleaning in Street End
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Street End typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Street End
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Street End is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Street End
In Street End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Street End is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
