Kitchen extract cleaning across TN19: what to expect
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters.
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How we quote
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How to get a quote

Local landmarks in Burwash

Kitchen extract cleaning around TN19
From Burwash, Hurst Green and Burwash Common to its smaller places, TN19 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across TN19 don’t have to lose a day.
Burwash: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 3.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bateman's, about 0.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Burwash; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in TN19
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Why act early?
If your kitchen in TN19 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Questions from TN19
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Do you cover TN19?
Yes. We work in TN19 and the rest of East Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
