Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TN13
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and poor airflow at the canopy.
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning around TN13
In TN13, a busy kitchen in a place such as Sevenoaks, Riverhead and Greatness and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Sevenoaks: Commuter trade near Sevenoaks station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital about 0.6 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
What affects the quote in TN13
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
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 fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
FAQs for TN13
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you cover TN13?
Yes. We work in TN13 and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
