TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Trottiscliffe
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Trottiscliffe, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and fat running down the canopy edge, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Trottiscliffe start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Trottiscliffe starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Trottiscliffe, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Trottiscliffe
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Trottiscliffe. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Trottiscliffe get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Trottiscliffe is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Trottiscliffe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Trottiscliffe, such as Old Soar Manor about 4 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. School kitchens, at schools like Trottiscliffe Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What’s near Trottiscliffe

Trottiscliffe’s nearest station is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Leybourne Castle (3 miles east) and Coldrum Long Barrow (0.8 miles east).
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Part by part
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.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Trottiscliffe questions
Can school kitchens in Trottiscliffe be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Trottiscliffe, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Trottiscliffe?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
