Kitchen extract cleaning in Winton, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Winton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Winton covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Winton
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Winton knowing what to expect.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Winton
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Winton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Winton 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. In Winton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Alfriston School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Andrew, or anywhere in Winton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What else we do in Winton
When to call us in Winton
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital about 4.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
FAQs for Winton
Can you work in Winton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Winton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Winton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Winton?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Somewhere as small as Winton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
