Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Blatchington
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Brighton and Hove. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

FAQs for West Blatchington
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in West Blatchington?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, West Blatchington gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in West Blatchington during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 44 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Blatchington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in West Blatchington?

Why act early in West Blatchington

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
West Blatchington kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from West Blatchington. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 193 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 60 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around West Blatchington, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for West Blatchington 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Montefiore Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in West Blatchington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around Aldrington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a place like West Blatchington, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in West Blatchington
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
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.
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.
