TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Heathfield
Any kitchen we clean in Heathfield 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 have fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Heathfield? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Kitchens around a place like Heathfield are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Heathfield
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Heathfield: the local picture
Sea air reaches Heathfield, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Heathfield. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Heathfield get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ranvilles Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Fareham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Heathfield
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Columba, or anywhere in Heathfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why act early in Heathfield
Any food business in Heathfield can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Heathfield
Will you come out to Heathfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Heathfield during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Heathfield. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
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 many insurers ask for proof of it.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
