Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Wilsley Green, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. 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. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Wilsley Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Wilsley Green 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.
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’re fully insured.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Wilsley Green
Can you come to Wilsley Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wilsley Green?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Wilsley Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Wilsley Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Wilsley Green. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Wilsley Green are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Wilsley Green is covered by 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere in Wilsley Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wilsley Green
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Planning a trip to Wilsley Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common problems we fix in Wilsley Green
In Wilsley Green, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 3.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wilsley Green.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
