Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Wipe splashes before they harden
We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Staff can get straight back to work when the kitchen opens.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Mackerel's Common
Every deep clean we carry out in Mackerel's Common takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it, because that is where the worst build-up hides. The work covers fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings, and the jobs we see most are grime in corners that pests could exploit and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Mackerel's Common
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. The outside of the canopy is cleaned with the rest of the kitchen.
Floors
Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. That is where we focus.

Mackerel's Common: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Mackerel's Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mackerel's Common included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Mackerel's Common?
In Mackerel's Common, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
That is often where it’s dirtiest, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Can you clean outside our opening hours?
We book it for when you are closed. We clean outside service times and leave the kitchen ready for the next shift.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
