TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ticehurst
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Ticehurst, normally within one working day. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Ticehurst covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Ticehurst covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Ticehurst, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Ticehurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Ticehurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In Ticehurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Ticehurst is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

What else we do in Ticehurst
Why act early in Ticehurst
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. 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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ticehurst now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

FAQs for Ticehurst
Can you work in Ticehurst outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Ticehurst can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ticehurst?
Kitchens in Ticehurst are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
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. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ticehurst?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ticehurst (Scotney Castle is about 3.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ticehurst.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
