What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Common, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Common, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Burwash Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Burwash Common questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash Common?
Yes, Burwash Common is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Burwash Common?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Burwash Common can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Burwash Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common problems we fix in Burwash Common
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 5.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Common: the local picture
Burwash Common is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Burwash Common are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Burwash Common

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
