Kitchen extract cleaning in Cade Street
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Cade Street, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. When a restaurant in Cade Street asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Cade Street, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Cade Street, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cade Street?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Heathfield Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a 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 isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cade Street.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Cade Street questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cade Street?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cade Street. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Cade Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Cade Street included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
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. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Cade Street
There are about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cade Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Kitchens in Cade Street get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Cade Street sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Cade Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. 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 4.7 miles east), access may need planning.
