TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in The Moor
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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.
In a small place like The Moor, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in The Moor
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of The Moor. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The Moor sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Tunbridge Wells council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in The Moor. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere in The Moor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Great Dixter is about 4.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to The Moor is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.6 miles west.
The Moor is about 12 miles north of Hastings, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in The Moor, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted.

Common questions in The Moor
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in The Moor?
The local authority for The Moor is Tunbridge Wells council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in The Moor?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in The Moor does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in The Moor and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to The Moor and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in The Moor
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
