For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Silver Hill, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Silver Hill goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Silver Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Visits to a village like Silver Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Why act early in Silver Hill
Any food business in Silver Hill can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Silver Hill
In Silver Hill, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Silver Hill is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 4.4 miles north-west.

Silver Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Silver Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Silver Hill is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Silver Hill?
Kitchens in Silver Hill are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
