Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Tidebrook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Tidebrook, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Tidebrook, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Tidebrook, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Tidebrook starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Tidebrook kitchens: local notes
Tidebrook is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Tidebrook are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ticehurst House Hospital (about 4.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Tidebrook, such as Wadhurst Castle about 2.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Uplands Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What else we do in Tidebrook
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tidebrook
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A fault that closes a site in a village like Tidebrook affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Tidebrook run smoothly.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
