How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Plumpton Green
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for missing paperwork after a change of operator and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points. Most calls from Plumpton Green come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Plumpton Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Plumpton Green
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
A kitchen near Plumpton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Common questions in Plumpton Green
Will you come out to Plumpton Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Plumpton Green is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Plumpton Green?
The local authority for Plumpton Green is Lewes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Plumpton Green.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
