Kitchen duct cleaning in Ferring
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Ferring, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and grease smells coming from the extract, on plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. When a restaurant in Ferring asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Ferring, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ferring
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a place like Ferring are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Ferring kitchens: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Ferring is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 12 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Ferring and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Ferring. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's Church or anywhere around Ferring, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Ferring CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ferring
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hospital like Zachary Merton Hospital, about 2.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry

What else we do in Ferring
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A quieter site near Ferring still needs its system looked after.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Ferring questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ferring?
The local authority for Ferring is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ferring?
Ferring is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
