What we’re called out for in Jevington
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Jevington, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease smells coming from the extract
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Jevington (Alfriston Clergy House is about 2.7 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
Kitchen extract cleaning in Jevington
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Jevington covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Jevington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Questions from Jevington
Which fire service covers Jevington?
Jevington is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Jevington?
Kitchens in Jevington are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Jevington: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Jevington. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Fire safety in Jevington falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Jevington are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Jevington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Willingdon Community School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Jevington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. In a place like Jevington, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
