Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burwash
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 grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Burwash? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A clean in Burwash covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Burwash starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Burwash knowing what to expect.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Questions from Burwash
Which environmental health team covers Burwash?
In Burwash, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Burwash?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burwash. 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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Burwash?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Burwash kitchens: local notes
Burwash 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. Burwash is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Burwash CofE School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bateman's is about 0.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Burwash is about 10 miles east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash, please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote.

Around Burwash
Around Burwash, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Admiral Vernon Public House, among other places. Burwash’s nearest station is Stonegate station, roughly 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Ticehurst House Hospital (3.5 miles north) and Old Castle (3.9 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Bewl Water.
What we are called out for in Burwash
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Burwash, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. In a small place like Burwash, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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.
