Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Hanover is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Even a site near Hanover that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Full insurance on every job

Kitchen duct cleaning in Hanover
Any kitchen we clean in Hanover gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Brighton and Hove.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a smaller place like Hanover, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When to call us in Hanover
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Commuter trade near Brighton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Before you book anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Hanover, so let us know how to reach it.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Kitchen extract cleaning around Hanover
At about 1 mile from the coast, Hanover is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 684 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 137 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Hanover. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Hanover, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brighton and Hove council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Elm Grove Primary School or anywhere near Hanover, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Annunciation or elsewhere in Hanover, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hanover
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Hanover?
It can, as Hanover is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which fire service covers Hanover?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Hanover?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Hanover
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
