Kitchen duct cleaning in Northbridge Street
Across Northbridge Street, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Northbridge Street, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in Northbridge Street
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. In a small place like Northbridge Street, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Northbridge Street knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What affects the quote in Northbridge Street
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Northbridge Street, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Questions from Northbridge Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Northbridge Street?
Kitchens in Northbridge Street are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Northbridge Street?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Northbridge Street. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.

When to call us in Northbridge Street
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run a café or takeaway near Robertsbridge station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
