Kitchen extract cleaning in Ninfield, East Sussex

Kitchen extract cleaning in Ninfield, done properly
Across Ninfield, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on 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 in Ninfield, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
In a village or hamlet like Ninfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Ninfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. With notice, the visit to Ninfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Ninfield questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ninfield?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ninfield. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Ninfield?
The local authority for Ninfield is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
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.
Do you cover Ninfield?
Yes. We work in Ninfield and across East Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ninfield
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Ninfield, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Ninfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
