TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Hampnett
Our technicians work in East Hampnett on kitchen extract cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in East Hampnett
Across East Hampnett, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and grease smells coming from the extract, across discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in East Hampnett normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in East Hampnett fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each 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.

Grease, kitchens and East Hampnett
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens across East Hampnett and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Hampnett. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers East Hampnett. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tangmere Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chichester Centre is the nearest hospital to East Hampnett, about 3.4 miles west.

Questions from East Hampnett
Can you work in East Hampnett outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in East Hampnett doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Hampnett?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Hampnett. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Hampnett affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to East Hampnett can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

When to call us in East Hampnett
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Hampnett, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
