East Sussex · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street, East Sussex
Kitchen extract cleaning across Green Street and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street
Any kitchen we clean in Green Street gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, 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’s where most of the work in Green Street goes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in Green Street
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Green Street, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St George, or anywhere in Green Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Green Street
Green Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Green Street. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. It’s Hastings council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Green Street. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Green Street is about 2 miles west of Hastings, in East Sussex.

Green Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Green Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Green Street included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the sea air around Green Street make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Green Street, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Green Street.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
