Kitchen extract cleaning near Flowers Green

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The timing of a visit to Flowers Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Ask for a quote

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Flowers Green

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Flowers Green, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.

We clean every reachable part of the system in Flowers Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.

Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, 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.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease, kitchens and Flowers Green

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Flowers Green. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Flowers Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Flowers Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amberstone Hospital is the nearest hospital to Flowers Green, about 2.2 miles west. Horselunges Manor, about 3.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Flowers Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Flowers Green is about 3 miles east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Sites in Flowers Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Flowers Green is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby (20 miles or so).

What affects the quote in Flowers Green

You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:

  • The size of the system
  • The number of sites or systems
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Helping us quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?

TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Somewhere as small as Flowers Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

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.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Different parts, different methods

Grease filters

Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

Flowers Green: your questions answered

Who inspects food businesses in Flowers Green?

Kitchens in Flowers Green are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Do you work at weekends in Flowers Green?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Flowers Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.

Will I get a certificate after the clean?

Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?

Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • Faulty fire dampers in the duct

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Canopies and hoods
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Extract fans
  • Discharge points
  • Vertical risers
  • Plenums and filters

What your team can do, and what needs us

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
