Kitchen extraction cleaning in Three Oaks
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Three Oaks? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Three Oaks
Across Three Oaks, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Three Oaks goes.
In a small place like Three Oaks, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Three Oaks, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Questions from Three Oaks
Will you come out to Three Oaks?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Three Oaks included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Three Oaks?
Food hygiene inspections in Three Oaks are carried out by Rother council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Three Oaks
The coast is only about 3 miles from Three Oaks. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease.

Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Three Oaks. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Laurence's Church or elsewhere in Three Oaks, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Buckswood School or anywhere near Three Oaks, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What we are called out for in Three Oaks
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Three Oaks is Conquest Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-west.

What affects the quote in Three Oaks
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
