How kitchen extract cleaning works in TN25
Across TN25, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and fat running down the canopy edge.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.

Local landmarks in Finberry
Around Finberry, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near John Wallis Academy, Ashford Green Corridors and Church of St Mary and the streets around them. Finberry’s nearest station is Ashford International station, roughly 2 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find William Harvey Hospital (1.9 miles north-east) and Ashford Designer Outlet (1.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Hatch Park.
Kitchen extracts across TN25
In TN25, we work in places such as Ashford, Kennington and Godinton and well beyond. Every place on our TN25 list (47 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across TN25 do not have to lose a day.
Finberry: Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 4 miles north-west), access may need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Finberry, about 1.9 miles north-east.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Common problems we fix in TN25
A kitchen in TN25 builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Common questions in TN25
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Do you work in TN25?
Yes. Our technicians work in TN25, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
