Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bevendean? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Around a smaller place like Bevendean, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Bevendean
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Bevendean, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease, kitchens and Bevendean
Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Bevendean, 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. Fire safety in Bevendean falls to East Sussex 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bevendean Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Moulsecoomb station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hospital like Brighton General Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Bevendean
Do you cover smaller places like Bevendean?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bevendean is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Bevendean?
It can. Bevendean is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
