What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Troy Town
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 layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Most calls from Troy Town come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Troy Town
Can school kitchens in Troy Town be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Troy Town. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Troy Town within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 needed.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
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 job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The timing of a visit to Troy Town is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Troy Town
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Troy Town is Tandridge Priory, about 2.8 miles north.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease, kitchens and Troy Town
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered across Troy Town and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council inspect food businesses in Troy Town. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Troy Town 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.
