Kitchen extraction cleaning in Normans' Bay
Kitchen extract cleaning in Normans' Bay, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
You leave with a 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.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Normans' Bay
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Normans' Bay, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and people most often call us about missing paperwork after a change of operator and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Normans' Bay start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a village or hamlet like Normans' Bay, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Why act early in Normans' Bay
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to 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 Normans' Bay rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Normans' Bay.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

FAQs for Normans' Bay
Can you come to Normans' Bay after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Normans' Bay needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Normans' Bay?
The local authority for Normans' Bay is Rother 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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you work in Normans' Bay?
Yes. We work in Normans' Bay and the rest of East Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. 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 shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
