Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Wingham Well
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wingham Well normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Wingham Well fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Wingham Well, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wingham Well, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wingham Well
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Wingham Well?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.

What we’re called out for in Wingham Well
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hospital like St Martins Hospital, about 4.2 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
