Playden kitchens: local notes
Playden is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 12 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Playden. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Playden get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Michael or anywhere around Playden, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Playden (Lamb House is about 0.9 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Playden
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Playden, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
Most kitchens in Playden fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Playden starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Playden?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
A kitchen near Rye station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Playden
Do you work in villages like Playden?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Playden included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Playden in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Playden. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Playden, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
