TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hooe Common
Kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites in Hooe Common and across East Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hooe Common
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Hooe Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Visits to a village like Hooe Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Kitchen extract cleaning around Hooe Common
Hooe Common is within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Hooe Common sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Hooe Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 3.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hooe Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Hooe Common questions
Can you work in Hooe Common outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Hooe Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Hooe Common

Why act early in Hooe Common
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the quote in Hooe Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
