Kitchen extract cleaning in East Lavington
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in East Lavington, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, on plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Lavington, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in East Lavington is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near East Lavington rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in East Lavington
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Lavington
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in East Lavington
Can the work in East Lavington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in East Lavington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can school kitchens in East Lavington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of East Lavington. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Grease, kitchens and East Lavington
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around East Lavington, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers East Lavington. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in East Lavington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in East Lavington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 5.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Related advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
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 isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Common problems we fix in East Lavington
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
For schools such as Graffham CofE Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
