Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Ductwork cleaning in Wiggonholt, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s 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 photos. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a rancid smell from the extract duct and grease leaking from duct joints.
For a kitchen in or near Wiggonholt, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Kitchen extracts in Wiggonholt
Look up Wiggonholt on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wiggonholt. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Food hygiene inspections in Wiggonholt are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Wiggonholt falls to 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wiggonholt (Parham House is about 1.5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Wiggonholt Church, or anywhere in Wiggonholt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common questions in Wiggonholt
Which fire authority looks after Wiggonholt?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wiggonholt?
In Wiggonholt, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover Wiggonholt?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Wiggonholt included.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a place like Wiggonholt, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
