Kitchen extract cleaning in TN36: how it works
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at 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. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and fat running down the canopy edge.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.

Kitchen extracts across TN36
In TN36, a busy kitchen in a place such as Winchelsea, Winchelsea Beach and Icklesham and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in TN36 can keep trading. TN36 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.
Winchelsea: For kitchens close to Winchelsea station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Lamb House, about 2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Winchelsea; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
A kitchen in TN36 builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
TN36: your questions answered
Can you price the work without visiting?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in TN36?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
