Kitchen extraction cleaning in Jenkins' Green
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Jenkins' Green? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, 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.

Questions from Jenkins' Green
Which fire service covers Jenkins' Green?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can school kitchens in Jenkins' Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Jenkins' Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Jenkins' Green and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Jenkins' Green
At about 3 miles from the coast, Jenkins' Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Jenkins' Green. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Jenkins' Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Hankham Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Jenkins' Green, such as Michelham Priory about 4.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Luke's Church, or anywhere in Jenkins' Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
