Our kitchen extract cleaning service in BN22
Across BN22, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
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. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
What you’ll pay
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What’s near Hampden Park
In Hampden Park, that means kitchens and buildings near Princes Park, Heron Park Primary Academy and The Eastbourne Academy. Hampden Park has its own railway station: Hampden Park station. Well-known places in the area include Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1.8 miles south-east) and Pevensey Castle (2.9 miles north-east). The countryside around Hampden Park includes Combe Hill.
Where we work in BN22
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across BN22 takes in places such as Eastbourne, Old Town and Upperton and the villages in between. Every place on our BN22 list (7 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in BN22 can keep trading. Near the coast in BN22, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.
Hampden Park: For kitchens close to Hampden Park station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Hampden Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in BN22 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
BN22: your questions answered
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Is BN22 in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, BN22 included.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
