Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TN2
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in TN2 give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How we quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Royal Tunbridge Wells: Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Barnabas CofE VA Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. For kitchens close to Tunbridge Wells station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that will not run
What we are called out for in TN2
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in TN2 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Common questions in TN2
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
