Kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Oak
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Typical jobs include an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Broad Oak asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 Broad Oak goes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Oak
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a small place like Broad Oak, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Oak
Who is the fire and rescue service for Broad Oak?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Broad Oak. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Broad Oak?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broad Oak included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Broad Oak and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Broad Oak kitchens: local notes
Broad Oak is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Broad Oak, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Conquest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broad Oak, about 4.7 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Brede Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Broad Oak, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
