Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonegate
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stonegate? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Stonegate 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Stonegate: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stonegate?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stonegate. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stonegate?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonegate are carried out by Rother council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What staff can safely do
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stonegate knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stonegate
In Stonegate, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
