Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Kent Street
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Kent Street, usually within one working day. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Kent Street.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Kent Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Kent Street
In Kent Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Kent Street, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ark Helenswood Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Kent Street, such as Durhamford Manor about 2.2 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Conquest Hospital (about 2.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Kent Street
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Questions from Kent Street
Can you come to Kent Street after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Kent Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire service covers Kent Street?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kent Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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 cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Is Kent Street in your area?
Yes. We cover Kent Street and across East Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
