About kitchen extract cleaning in CT12
Any kitchen we clean in CT12 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We’re often asked to deal with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters.
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What you’ll pay
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extracts across CT12
Kitchens across CT12 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in CT12 and beyond. Along the coast in CT12, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Newington: Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ramsgate Arts Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Ramsgate station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Why it fails
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in CT12, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Managing agents and facilities teams in CT12
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Questions from CT12
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
How long will the clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you work in CT12?
Yes. Our technicians work in CT12, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
