Need kitchen extract cleaning in Dukes Green? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Dukes Green, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Dukes Green start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Dukes Green goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Dukes Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Dukes Green knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Dukes Green
At about 3 miles from the coast, Dukes Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Dukes Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, 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. Food hygiene inspections in Dukes Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

FAQs for Dukes Green
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Dukes Green?
It can. Dukes Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Which council inspects kitchens in Dukes Green?
In Dukes Green, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
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 is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: 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 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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dukes Green?
In Dukes Green, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel or anywhere around Dukes Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Dukes Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
