Kitchen extract cleaning in Salehurst: the local picture
Salehurst is covered by 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. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Salehurst. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Salehurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Salehurst (Durhamford Manor is about 3.7 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Salehurst
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Salehurst, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We are often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans. When a restaurant in Salehurst asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Salehurst covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Salehurst, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Salehurst
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Salehurst?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like Salehurst?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Salehurst included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Salehurst before we set off.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Salehurst
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Salehurst, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Salehurst
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. With notice, the visit to Salehurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Salehurst and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
