Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Bramber
One call covers kitchen extract cleaning in Bramber, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the baffle filters clean
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bramber
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Bramber give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and people most often call us about missing paperwork after a change of operator and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. 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.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Bramber: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Bramber
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bramber. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Bramber are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bramber. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southlands Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Bramber, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Bramber is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Bramber gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, which is where we come in.
Common questions in Bramber
Can the work in Bramber be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bramber keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Bramber be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bramber. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you cover Bramber?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bramber, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
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.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
What affects the quote in Bramber
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which 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 Bramber.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Bramber as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
