Kitchen extract cleaning in Codmore Hill, West Sussex
Kitchen extract cleaning across Codmore Hill and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Codmore Hill.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Codmore Hill
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you’re dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from discharge points, vertical risers and extract fans onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Codmore Hill it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Codmore Hill covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Codmore Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Codmore Hill
A kitchen in Codmore Hill builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Historic houses near Codmore Hill, such as Old Place Manor about 1 mile south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common questions in Codmore Hill
Which council inspects kitchens in Codmore Hill?
Kitchens in Codmore Hill are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Codmore Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Codmore Hill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What else we do in Codmore Hill
How the job changes from site to site

Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Codmore Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Codmore Hill. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Codmore Hill. 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 Codmore Hill are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Codmore Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a place like Codmore Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We diagnose before we treat
- Full insurance on every job

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
