Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TN20
Any kitchen we clean in TN20 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.

Kitchen extract cleaning around TN20
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across TN20 takes in places such as Mayfield, Wellbrook and Five Ashes and the villages in between. Every place on our TN20 list (8 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Mayfield: Where a hall near Church of St. Dunstan, or anywhere in Mayfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Mayfield, such as Wadhurst Castle about 4.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Questions from TN20

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
