How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Coolham
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Coolham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Coolham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away 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 village or hamlet like Coolham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Coolham
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Coolham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Coolham get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Coolham is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as William Penn School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Coolham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What else we do in Coolham
Why it’s worth doing now in Coolham
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. If the system at a site near Coolham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
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.
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.
Questions from Coolham
Can you get to a site in Coolham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Coolham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Coolham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Coolham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Coolham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Coolham
In Coolham, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Mission Church or anywhere around Coolham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
