How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Durfold Wood
Across Durfold Wood, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Durfold Wood covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Durfold Wood: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Durfold Wood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Common questions in Durfold Wood
Do you work in villages like Durfold Wood?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Durfold Wood included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Durfold Wood?
The local authority for Durfold Wood is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Durfold Wood, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Kitchen extracts in Durfold Wood
Food hygiene inspections in Durfold Wood are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. 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. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Durfold Wood. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
For schools such as Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Durfold Wood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 5.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Durfold Wood is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
