TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tudeley Hale
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tudeley Hale, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Tudeley Hale goes.
Work in a small place like Tudeley Hale 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tudeley Hale
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In a place like Tudeley Hale, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Questions from Tudeley Hale
Is Tudeley Hale within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tudeley Hale is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Tudeley Hale?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Tudeley Hale can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Kitchen extracts in Tudeley Hale
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Tudeley Hale and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Tudeley Hale get their food hygiene inspections from Tunbridge Wells council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Tudeley Hale falls to 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.
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Tudeley Hale, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we do, step by step
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 the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tudeley Hale before we set off.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
