Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Fisher
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. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across West Sussex.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Fisher, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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 anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Fisher, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Fisher questions
Which fire authority looks after Fisher?
Fisher is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does the sea air around Fisher make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Fisher, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What is 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.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
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.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Why act early in Fisher
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Fisher as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. With notice, the visit to Fisher can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Fisher
Fisher lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Fisher on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Fisher and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Fisher, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 3.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chichester High School For Girls, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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 each one has its own record.
When to call us in Fisher
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Leodegar's Church or elsewhere in Fisher, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
