About our kitchen extract cleaning in Tyler Hill
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points onwards. Most calls from Tyler Hill 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.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Tyler Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Tyler Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tyler Hill?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hospital like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr, about 2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. In a small place like Tyler Hill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We are fully insured
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Tyler Hill
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tyler Hill?
Tyler Hill is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in Tyler Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tyler Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Tyler Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Tyler Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Fire safety in Tyler Hill 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. In Tyler Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Blean Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Cosmus and St Damian or elsewhere in Tyler Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
