TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Camber
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Camber, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in East Sussex.
Most kitchens in Camber fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a small place like Camber, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Camber run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Kitchen extracts in Camber
Camber lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Camber. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Camber. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Thomas the Apostle or elsewhere in Camber, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Camber and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Camber
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Historic houses near Camber, such as Lamb House about 2.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Camber
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s simpler to plan the work at Camber now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
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 isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Camber: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Camber?
Camber is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Does the sea air around Camber make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Camber is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
