Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TN28
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.

Where we work in TN28
Kitchens across TN28 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.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in TN28 and beyond. Near the coast in TN28, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
New Romney: Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in New Romney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.

- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common questions in TN28
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. 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.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
