- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Tilmanstone can be planned properly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site 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 pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Tilmanstone
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Tilmanstone, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans.

What affects the quote in Tilmanstone
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tilmanstone?
In Tilmanstone, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckland Hospital about 5.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tilmanstone: the local picture
Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Tilmanstone. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Tilmanstone is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Tilmanstone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

FAQs for Tilmanstone
Which environmental health team covers Tilmanstone?
That is Dover council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tilmanstone. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Tilmanstone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you cover Tilmanstone?
Yes. Tilmanstone is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Why act early in Tilmanstone
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tilmanstone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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 you will get one fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
