Kitchen extract cleaning in Bexhill-on-Sea, done properly

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Bexhill-on-Sea, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Bexhill-on-Sea, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.

BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.

Many kitchens in a town like Bexhill-on-Sea were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we can’t reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.

We have 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 carry full insurance.

Part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

Grease filters

A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
  • Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans

You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.

Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

How it works

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Three things shape a visit in Bexhill-on-Sea: when you’re closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bexhill-on-Sea

Does the sea air around Bexhill-on-Sea make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?

It can, as Bexhill-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.

Which fire authority looks after Bexhill-on-Sea?

It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bexhill-on-Sea. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Do you work in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bexhill-on-Sea.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?

When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Bexhill-on-Sea

At about 1 mile from the coast, Bexhill-on-Sea is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Bexhill-on-Sea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Bexhill-on-Sea. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

A kitchen near Bexhill station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bexhill Hospital about 0.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as King Offa Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
