About our kitchen extract cleaning in Broadbridge Heath
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Most calls from Broadbridge Heath come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A clean in Broadbridge Heath covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Broadbridge Heath, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a site near Broadbridge Heath, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We survey the system, from your pictures 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why act early in Broadbridge Heath
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit
- A fixed price before any work starts

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.

Broadbridge Heath kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadbridge Heath. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Broadbridge Heath. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Broadbridge Heath 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. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. John's Church or anywhere around Broadbridge Heath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Broadbridge Heath
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Broadbridge Heath?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broadbridge Heath. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Broadbridge Heath?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broadbridge Heath is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. 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 down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadbridge Heath
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
