Kitchen duct cleaning in Worth
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Kitchens in Worth book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Worth: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Worth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Staff cleaning versus 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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Worth questions
Can you work in Worth outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Worth doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Worth?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Worth than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you cover Worth?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Worth.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Worth can be planned properly.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Worth
Sea air reaches Worth, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Worth. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Worth is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Walmer Castle is about 4.5 miles south-east), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Worth Primary School or anywhere near Worth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ramsgate General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Worth, about 6 miles north-east.
