Kitchen extract cleaning across TN35: what to expect
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and fat running down the canopy edge, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods.
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across TN35: local notes
In TN35, a busy kitchen in a place such as Hastings, Hastings Old Town and Belmont and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across England, including TN35, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Along the coast in TN35, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Ore: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Ore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sandown Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Why it fails
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in TN35 and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
