Kitchen duct cleaning in Woolpack Corner
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Woolpack Corner, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you’re dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Woolpack Corner, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Kent.
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.
Work in a small place like Woolpack Corner starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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.
Questions from Woolpack Corner
Which fire service covers Woolpack Corner?
Woolpack Corner is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Woolpack Corner after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Woolpack Corner doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.

What else we do in Woolpack Corner
What we do, step by step
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Woolpack Corner is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.

When to call us in Woolpack Corner
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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Somewhere as small as Woolpack Corner, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
