About kitchen extract cleaning in TN37
Any kitchen we clean in TN37 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 discharge points, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are rancid smells from grease in the duct and years of baked-on grease in the ducts.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extracts across TN37
In TN37, we work in places such as Hastings, St Leonards and Hollington and well beyond. We cover every place we list for TN37, 8 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across TN37 don’t have to lose a day. In the coastal parts of TN37, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.
Baldslow: Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 3.8 miles north-west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Baldslow is Conquest Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-east.
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 will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common problems we fix in TN37
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Leave it or put it right?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in TN37 as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Common questions in TN37
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
