Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Well Head
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Well Head give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Well Head, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Well Head starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Well Head questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Well Head in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Well Head. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Well Head?
Yes, Well Head is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How long will the clean take?
Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The timing of a visit to Well Head 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
We don’t 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 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Well Head?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Martins Hospital is the nearest hospital to Well Head, about 5 miles west.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

The fire and rescue service for Well Head is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
