Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Winchelsea Beach
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and fat running down the canopy edge. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Winchelsea Beach? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Winchelsea Beach goes.
In a village or hamlet like Winchelsea Beach, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Winchelsea Beach: the local picture
Sea air reaches Winchelsea Beach, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Winchelsea Beach and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Winchelsea Beach. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near St Richard, or anywhere in Winchelsea Beach, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as St Thomas' Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we’re called out for in Winchelsea Beach
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Lamb House, about 2.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Winchelsea Beach; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Winchelsea Beach
Which environmental health team covers Winchelsea Beach?
Food hygiene inspections in Winchelsea Beach are carried out by Rother council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Winchelsea Beach?
Winchelsea Beach is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Winchelsea Beach.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. With notice, the visit to Winchelsea Beach can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
