Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Amberley
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Amberley it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Amberley, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Questions from Amberley
Is Amberley within the area you cover?
Yes. Amberley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Amberley?
Kitchens in Amberley are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Amberley?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Amberley.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Amberley
A kitchen in Amberley builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Amberley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Somewhere as small as Amberley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Kitchen extracts in Amberley
Food hygiene inspections in Amberley 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. The fire and rescue service for Amberley is 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Amberley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
