About kitchen extract cleaning in BN25
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts across BN25
In BN25, a busy kitchen in a place such as Seaford, Tide Mills and Bishopstone and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Near the coast in BN25, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
Seaford: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital about 1.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Thomas More or anywhere around Seaford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Managing agents and facilities teams in BN25
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
BN25 questions
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in BN25?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
