Kitchen extract cleaning in Five Oaks, done properly
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Five Oaks, typically within one working day. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across West Sussex.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Five Oaks 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Five Oaks
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Five Oaks and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Five Oaks
The fire and rescue service for Five Oaks is 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. Five Oaks is about 35 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Weald School or anywhere near Five Oaks, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Five Oaks
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s simpler to plan the work at Five Oaks now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Five Oaks
Who is the fire and rescue service for Five Oaks?
Five Oaks 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Five Oaks?
Kitchens in Five Oaks are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Five Oaks, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
