- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. In a smaller place like Telscombe Cliffs, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Telscombe Cliffs, usually within one working day. If you have grease drips onto cooking equipment and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Telscombe Cliffs? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Telscombe Cliffs, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Telscombe Cliffs
Telscombe Cliffs is within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Telscombe Cliffs. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Telscombe Cliffs. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Monk's House is about 3 miles north-east), access may need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Telscombe Cliffs, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Telscombe Cliffs questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Telscombe Cliffs?
That is Lewes council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Telscombe Cliffs. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you get to a site in Telscombe Cliffs?
Yes, Telscombe Cliffs is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Ascension Church or elsewhere in Telscombe Cliffs, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
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.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Telscombe Cliffs and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
