Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Findon
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and poor airflow at the canopy. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Findon? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Findon goes.
Work in a small place like Findon starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Findon kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Findon and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Findon sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Findon are the job of Arun 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.
Ecclesden Manor, about 3.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Findon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John the Baptist CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Findon are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote

Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Findon
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Findon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Findon rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
