TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Flackley Ash
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with rancid smells from grease in the duct and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can put it right. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Flackley Ash, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in East Sussex.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Flackley Ash: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Flackley Ash, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Flackley Ash
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Flackley Ash?
In Flackley Ash, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Flackley Ash?
Flackley Ash is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Flackley Ash
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Flackley Ash. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Flackley Ash is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Flackley Ash (Lamb House is about 3.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Flackley Ash, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
How it works
We turn up 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 we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere like Flackley Ash, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- 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
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Flackley Ash?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
