TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wierton
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wierton typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Wierton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Wierton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wierton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wierton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Wierton is 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.
For schools such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wierton is Oakwood Hospital, about 4.5 miles north-west.

Related advice
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
FAQs for Wierton
Will you come out to Wierton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wierton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Wierton?
The local authority for Wierton is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wierton
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wierton (Stoneacre is about 2.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wierton
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs 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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
