About our kitchen extract cleaning in Denton
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Denton, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in East Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Denton goes.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Denton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Denton
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Denton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A site near Denton that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a place like Denton, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the baffle filters clean
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 we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
Questions from Denton
Can you come to Denton after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Denton keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Denton?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Denton. 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.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Denton: the local picture
Denton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered in and around Denton, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Denton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you cook for passing trade around Newhaven Town station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
