Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Bepton Common
Any kitchen we clean in Bepton Common gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Bepton Common
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Bepton Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Bepton Common sits within the area of 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. In Bepton Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The report gives a recommended 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 isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bepton Common?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Historic houses near Bepton Common, such as Cowdray House about 1.3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What affects the quote in Bepton Common
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bepton Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
FAQs for Bepton Common
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bepton Common?

Yes, Bepton Common is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
