About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Cross
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 new panels can be fitted. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Stone Cross it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Stone Cross gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Stone Cross, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises

Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A site near Stone Cross that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Cross: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Stone Cross. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Stone Cross and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stone Cross. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbourne District General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stone Cross, about 2.4 miles south-west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stone Cross School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stone Cross (Michelham Priory is about 4.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that won’t run

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stone Cross
Is Stone Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stone Cross included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stone Cross?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stone Cross. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
