Woolbridge kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Woolbridge and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Woolbridge
Any kitchen we clean in Woolbridge gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Woolbridge goes.
For a kitchen in or near Woolbridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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, with full insurance on top.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Woolbridge 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 send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
FAQs for Woolbridge
Which council inspects kitchens in Woolbridge?
In Woolbridge, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Woolbridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Woolbridge does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
When to call us in Woolbridge
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Woolbridge, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
A hospital like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 4.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Woolbridge kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Woolbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. We cover Woolbridge, about 36 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Dunstan or elsewhere in Woolbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Woolbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Woolbridge is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. If the system at a site near Woolbridge fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We are fully insured
- Photo reports with every job

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
