TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Durrington
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Durrington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey

Grease, kitchens and Durrington
Durrington is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 34 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Durrington. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Durrington is covered by West Sussex 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.
Ecclesden Manor, about 2.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Durrington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near St Symphorian's Church, or anywhere in Durrington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Durrington.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Durrington?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A hospital like The Acre, about 2.2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Durrington questions
Which environmental health team covers Durrington?
That is Worthing council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durrington. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Durrington within the area you cover?
Yes, Durrington is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
