Barnham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Barnham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Barnham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Barnham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Barnham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Barnham
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Barnham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Barnham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Barnham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Barnham kitchens: local notes
Barnham lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Barnham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Barnham. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Barnham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Barnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Barnham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Barnham is about 4 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Barnham, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. 371 places in West Sussex are on our list, large and small. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 19 miles away.
All of PO22 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Whether your site is on Garden Crescent, Dollery Road and Goodacres or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Barnham, we cover West Barnham (1 mile north-west), Walberton (1 mile north-east), Yapton (1 mile south-east), Eastergate (1 mile north-west) and Lidsey (1 mile south-west).

Around Barnham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Murrell Arms and St Philip Howard Catholic High School. Barnham has its own railway station: Barnham station. A little further out are Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (3.2 miles south-west) and Tote Copse Castle (2.5 miles west). The countryside around Barnham includes WWT Arundel.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Barnham.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
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.
When to call us in Barnham
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
For kitchens close to Barnham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
