Kitchen extraction cleaning in Walter's Green
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Walter's Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Walter's Green
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We’re often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods. When a restaurant in Walter's Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Walter's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Walter's Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Walter's Green
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Kent and Sussex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Walter's Green, about 4.3 miles east.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

What else we do in Walter's Green
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Walter's Green questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Walter's Green?
In Walter's Green, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Walter's Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Walter's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
