- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Netherfield
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Netherfield covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a small place like Netherfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Somewhere like Netherfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Netherfield
Netherfield is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Netherfield get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Netherfield CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John or elsewhere in Netherfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Netherfield, such as Durhamford Manor about 3.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Netherfield is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

Netherfield questions
Can you come to Netherfield after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Netherfield keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Netherfield?
Yes, Netherfield is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
