Common questions in Wrotham
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Wrotham out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Wrotham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wrotham?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Wrotham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
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 protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you cover Wrotham?
Yes. We work in Wrotham and across Kent, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Wrotham
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Wrotham, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wrotham usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Wrotham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Wrotham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Wrotham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Kitchen extracts in Wrotham
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Wrotham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Wrotham is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Wrotham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St George or elsewhere in Wrotham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Wrotham School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 3.2 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wrotham
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
