About our kitchen extract cleaning in Coneyhurst
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Coneyhurst, you get one team and one number for every site.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Coneyhurst goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Coneyhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Questions from Coneyhurst
Which fire authority looks after Coneyhurst?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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 overnight in Coneyhurst?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Coneyhurst can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long will the clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Coneyhurst, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the quote in Coneyhurst
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Coneyhurst?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Weald School or anywhere near Coneyhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
