- The size of the system

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Russell's Green
Across Russell's Green, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and poor airflow at the canopy, across plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans. When a restaurant in Russell's Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. 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 Russell's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Russell's Green questions
Will you come out to Russell's Green?
Yes, Russell's Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Russell's Green?
It can. Russell's Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 to a regular schedule.
Russell's Green kitchens: local notes
Russell's Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food hygiene inspections in Russell's 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Russell's Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Russell's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Russell's Green knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
When to call us in Russell's Green
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Russell's Green is Bexhill Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-east.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
