What affects the quote in St Ann's Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in St Ann's Green
A fixed schedule doesn’t always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, which is why measurement matters. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. If you have confirming a clean reached the whole system and systems that need surveying before cleaning, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near St Ann's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in St Ann's Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
When to call us in St Ann's Green
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. The old cleaning schedule may not match the kitchen any more.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
- Extracts that have never been grease tested
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
Whether the kitchen is in St Ann's Green itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to St Ann's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- The same access points are opened up.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

TR19 inspection in St Ann's Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs and bars in and around St Ann's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. St Ann's Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Maidstone council inspect food businesses in St Ann's Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Oakwood Hospital is the nearest hospital to St Ann's Green, about 5.9 miles north.

Common questions in St Ann's Green
Can you work in St Ann's Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in St Ann's Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like St Ann's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
Readings are taken using the Wet Film Thickness Test or the Deposit Thickness Test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes, for kitchens across the South East and London. Share the insurer’s request so the report addresses it.
What is post-clean verification?
A post-clean check records grease readings and photos after the work, whoever did the clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Fan breakdowns, which need a repair visit
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease on the fan adds to wear. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. We take readings there and photograph it on every inspection.
