Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Rock-a-Nore
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy or filters and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Rock-a-Nore: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a smaller kitchen near Rock-a-Nore, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Rock-a-Nore is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Rock-a-Nore questions
Does the sea air around Rock-a-Nore make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Rock-a-Nore, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Rock-a-Nore during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Rock-a-Nore. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Rock-a-Nore?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Rock-a-Nore and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we’re called out for in Rock-a-Nore
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
If you cook for passing trade around Ore station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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 we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a place like Rock-a-Nore, we fit the visit around your hours.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
