Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Brunswick
Kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Brunswick give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
For a smaller kitchen near Brunswick, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a place like Brunswick are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Where a hall near St Stephen's Church, or anywhere in Brunswick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Brunswick: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Brunswick?
Kitchens in Brunswick are inspected by Brighton and Hove council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 32 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brunswick. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you work in Brunswick?
Yes. Brunswick is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Brunswick
The coast is only about 1 mile from Brunswick. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 259 pubs and bars and about 49 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Brunswick. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Brunswick sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Brighton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Montefiore Hospital (about 0.5 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
