Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stuppington
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. When a restaurant in Stuppington asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stuppington
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Stuppington: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Stuppington?

Can school kitchens in Stuppington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 17 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stuppington. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stuppington: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 173 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 31 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stuppington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Fire safety in Stuppington falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Stuppington get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Stuppington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 0.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Stuppington
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere as small as Stuppington, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Stuppington
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
