Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Battle
Any kitchen we clean in Battle gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Battle it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Battle covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a smaller place like Battle, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as 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.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Battle
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Battle. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Battle are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Battle is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Battle station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Battle, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Battle is about 5 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Across the TN33 area, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. Battle is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. We also work in Maidstone, about 24 miles from Battle.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Battle questions
Do you work in villages like Battle?
Yes. Battle is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Battle be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Battle needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
When to call us in Battle
In Battle, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Battle, not ours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
