FAQs for Hampers Green
Can you come to Hampers Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Hampers Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hampers Green?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hampers Green. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hampers Green
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hampers Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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 else we do in Hampers Green
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hampers Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Hampers Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Hampers Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Hampers Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Petworth Cof E Primary School or anywhere near Hampers Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hampers Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Hampers Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hampers Green?
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Hampers Green as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 5.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
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 the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
