Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Wallcrouch
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are missing paperwork after a change of operator and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. When a restaurant in Wallcrouch asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
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.
For a kitchen in or near Wallcrouch, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

What affects the quote in Wallcrouch
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wallcrouch, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Questions from Wallcrouch
Do you work overnight in Wallcrouch?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wallcrouch?
Wallcrouch is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is Wallcrouch in your area?
Yes. Wallcrouch is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Wallcrouch?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Wallcrouch?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of 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 kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
For schools such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Wallcrouch before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Why act early in Wallcrouch
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Wallcrouch as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In a place like Wallcrouch, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
