TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ratton Village
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Ratton Village, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ratton Village
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Ratton Village start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Ratton Village goes.
Kitchens around a place like Ratton Village 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
What we are called out for in Ratton Village
A kitchen in Ratton Village builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ocklynge Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Ratton Village
Which fire service covers Ratton Village?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ratton Village. 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.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Ratton Village?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Ratton Village than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ratton Village
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Ratton Village
Ratton Village is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 23 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ratton Village. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Ratton Village are the job of Eastbourne council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Ratton Village, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. 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 Ratton Village, about 0.7 miles south-east.
