Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Burgh Hill
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Burgh Hill, you get one team and one number for every site.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Burgh Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Burgh Hill
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Burgh Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs 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.
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, and that is where we come in.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Questions from Burgh Hill
Who inspects food businesses in Burgh Hill?
Kitchens in Burgh Hill are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Burgh Hill?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Burgh Hill?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Burgh Hill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Burgh Hill
Look up Burgh Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Burgh Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Burgh Hill, 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. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Burgh Hill sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
