Kitchen extraction cleaning in Steven's Crouch
Kitchen extract cleaning across Steven's Crouch and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Steven's Crouch
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. 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. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and stale cooking odours from the system, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Steven's Crouch, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in East Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Steven's Crouch goes.
In a village or hamlet like Steven's Crouch, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a small place like Steven's Crouch, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
When to call us in Steven's Crouch
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Steven's Crouch is Bexhill Hospital, about 4.4 miles south.

What affects the quote in Steven's Crouch
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Why it’s worth doing now in Steven's Crouch
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A planned visit to Steven's Crouch is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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 explain each part.
