Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Barns Green
Any kitchen we clean in Barns Green gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and grease drips onto cooking equipment. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Barns Green, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Barns Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Barns Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horsham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Barns Green, about 4 miles north-east.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barns Green
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
