Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bachelor's Bump
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bachelor's Bump, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in East Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Bachelor's Bump goes.
Somewhere as small as Bachelor's Bump, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Questions from Bachelor's Bump
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bachelor's Bump?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Bachelor's Bump?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bachelor's Bump is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Bachelor's Bump
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bachelor's Bump
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. If the system at a site near Bachelor's Bump fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
