Kitchen extract cleaning in Pevensey, done properly
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Pevensey it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Pevensey covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Pevensey starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Pevensey
Pevensey lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Pevensey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pevensey. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Pevensey 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Nicolas Church or elsewhere in Pevensey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbourne District General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Pevensey, about 3.8 miles south-west. For kitchens close to Pevensey Bay station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Pevensey is about 3 miles north-east of Eastbourne, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Pevensey, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Pevensey is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Brighton, roughly 20 miles from Pevensey.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Pevensey can be planned properly.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Common questions in Pevensey
Who inspects food businesses in Pevensey?
That’s Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Pevensey. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Pevensey?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Pevensey keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
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.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Pevensey
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. In a place like Pevensey, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
