Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Farleigh
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Farleigh
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you are dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from West Farleigh start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like West Farleigh starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Farleigh.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in West Farleigh
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in West Farleigh and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In West Farleigh, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for West Farleigh 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.
A hospital like Oakwood Hospital, about 1.9 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around West Farleigh, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.

Common questions in West Farleigh
Do you work at weekends in West Farleigh?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in West Farleigh doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in West Farleigh?
In West Farleigh, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. 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. Somewhere as small as West Farleigh, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

When to call us in West Farleigh
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oakwood Park Grammar School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
