Grease, kitchens and Broadbridge
Sea air reaches Broadbridge, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadbridge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Broadbridge falls to 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Broadbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Chichester Centre, about 3.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Broadbridge is about 3 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Broadbridge, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Broadbridge is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex where we work for kitchen extract cleaning. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 10 miles away.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Broadbridge
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you are dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Broadbridge asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Work in a small place like Broadbridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
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.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadbridge
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Broadbridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What we are called out for in Broadbridge
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A kitchen near Bosham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Broadbridge: your questions answered
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Broadbridge?
It can, as Broadbridge is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Broadbridge be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broadbridge. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
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 far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
