Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Westmarsh
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Westmarsh, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Westmarsh start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Westmarsh, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

FAQs for Westmarsh
Can you work in Westmarsh outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Westmarsh can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Westmarsh?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Westmarsh: the local picture
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Westmarsh. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. At about 60 miles from central London, Westmarsh sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.6 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. In and around Westmarsh, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.
Westmarsh is about 7 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Westmarsh and the rest of Kent. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Westmarsh among them. Maidstone is in our area too, around 32 miles away.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Westmarsh.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What staff can safely do
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.
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. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- 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
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Westmarsh is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
