What affects the quote in Stanmer
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmer, done properly
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Stanmer, you get one team and one number for every site.
A clean in Stanmer covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Stanmer starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Stanmer questions
Can you get to a site in Stanmer?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanmer is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Stanmer?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Stanmer kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stanmer. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Stanmer get their food hygiene inspections from Brighton and Hove council. 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. Stanmer is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Coldean Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Brighton General Hospital (about 2.7 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Stanmer Church, or anywhere in Stanmer, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. With notice, the visit to Stanmer can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
