Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ore
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Ore, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and stale cooking odours from the system, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Ore it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens around a place like Ore are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Ore questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Ore?
That is Hastings council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ore. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Ore?
It can, as Ore is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Ore
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Why it’s worth doing now in Ore
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Ore than wait for a failure.
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.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- In business since 2009

Kitchen extract cleaning around Ore
Ore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 111 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 43 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Ore, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fire safety in Ore falls to 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Ore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Sandown Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Sites in Ore get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Ore is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work for kitchen extract cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 27 miles away.
Work in TN35 and TN34 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ore
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
If you run a café or takeaway near Ore station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
