- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history

- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
You leave with a 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 isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Crawley
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. 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. We’re often asked to deal with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, on extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Crawley it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Crawley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Crawley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Crawley
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Crawley knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Crawley
Crawley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Crawley are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Crawley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What a clean will not put right
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Common questions in Crawley
Will you come out to Crawley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crawley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Crawley?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Crawley. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Crawley is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
