Grease, kitchens and Findon Valley
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Findon Valley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Findon Valley is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Findon Valley are the job of Worthing council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints or elsewhere in Findon Valley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Ecclesden Manor, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Findon Valley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include gaps where access panels were never fitted and high readings at a recent grease test, on horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Around a smaller place like Findon Valley, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
FAQs for Findon Valley
Which environmental health team covers Findon Valley?
The local authority for Findon Valley is Worthing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Findon Valley?
Yes. Findon Valley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A site near Findon Valley typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

Common problems we fix in Findon Valley
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Worthing Hospital is the nearest hospital to Findon Valley, about 2.9 miles south-east.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Findon Valley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.

What else we do in Findon Valley
Part by part
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
