Fairlight Cove kitchens: local notes
Fairlight Cove lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Fairlight Cove. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fairlight Cove. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Conquest Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like The Hastings Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Fairlight Cove
Do you work overnight in Fairlight Cove?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Fairlight Cove needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Fairlight Cove?
Yes. Fairlight Cove is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Fairlight Cove knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
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.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
When to call us in Fairlight Cove
In Fairlight Cove, 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter, or anywhere in Fairlight Cove, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What affects the quote in Fairlight Cove

- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
