Kitchen duct cleaning in Burwash Weald
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Burwash Weald covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Burwash Weald goes.
Somewhere as small as Burwash Weald, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Burwash Weald
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Weald, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Weald
Is Burwash Weald within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burwash Weald?
That’s Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Burwash Weald. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Burwash Weald?
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Burwash Weald, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burwash Weald (Bateman's is about 0.9 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burwash Weald run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. 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.
