Kitchen extract cleaning around Rushlake Green
Food hygiene inspections in Rushlake Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Rushlake Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital, about 4.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Heathfield Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Bateman's, about 4.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Rushlake Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Rushlake Green is about 6 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Rushlake Green and the rest of East Sussex.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Rushlake Green, done properly
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Rushlake Green start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Rushlake Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)

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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rushlake Green.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Common questions in Rushlake Green
Which fire service covers Rushlake Green?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rushlake Green?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rushlake Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Rushlake Green is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
