The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Ringmer when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Ringmer
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Ringmer, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. Most calls from Ringmer 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Ringmer gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
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 current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Around Ringmer, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
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 give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Ringmer
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
