How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cooksbridge, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cooksbridge
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 horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Cooksbridge normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Cooksbridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Cooksbridge
Do you work overnight in Cooksbridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Cooksbridge needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Cooksbridge?
Kitchens in Cooksbridge are inspected by Lewes council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work in Cooksbridge?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Cooksbridge.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why act early in Cooksbridge
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cooksbridge rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Cooksbridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

When to call us in Cooksbridge
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
School kitchens, at schools like Hamsey Community Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
