Kitchen extract cleaning across TN18: what to expect
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in TN18, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How we quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Kitchen extract cleaning across TN18: local notes
Kitchens across TN18 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across England, including TN18, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Hawkhurst: For schools such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in TN18
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor that has burnt out
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 can quote for the whole system.
FAQs for TN18
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
