Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadfield
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Broadfield, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across discharge points, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Broadfield, you get one team and one number for every site.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Broadfield goes well beyond the canopy.
Around a smaller place like Broadfield, 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 cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadfield
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. A planned visit to Broadfield fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Broadfield
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ The Lord or anywhere around Broadfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A site near Broadfield usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Broadfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses in Broadfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Broadfield sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Broadfield get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Seymour Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadfield is Crawley Hospital, about 1.5 miles north.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Questions from Broadfield
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadfield are carried out by Crawley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Broadfield?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Broadfield. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
