What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hollingrove
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Hollingrove. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. We cover Hollingrove, about 43 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or elsewhere in Hollingrove, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bateman's is about 2.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Hollingrove is about 8 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Hollingrove gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. 289 places in East Sussex are on our list, large and small. We also work in Maidstone, about 22 miles from Hollingrove.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hollingrove
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Hollingrove covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hollingrove
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Hollingrove knowing what to expect.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Questions from Hollingrove
Can you come to Hollingrove after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Hollingrove doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hollingrove?
Kitchens in Hollingrove are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
