Kitchen duct cleaning in Willingdon
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Willingdon, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
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.
Somewhere as small as Willingdon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Willingdon questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Willingdon?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Willingdon. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Willingdon?
Kitchens in Willingdon are inspected by Eastbourne council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you cover Willingdon?
Yes. We work in Willingdon and across East Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Willingdon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Willingdon is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Willingdon is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Willingdon kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Willingdon. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Willingdon. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Willingdon sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Willingdon is Eastbourne District General Hospital, about 1.2 miles south-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Willingdon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When to call us in Willingdon
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
