Kitchen extract cleaning in Flansham, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Kitchens in Flansham book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Flansham goes well beyond the canopy.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Flansham
Flansham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Flansham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Flansham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Bilsham Chapel, or anywhere in Flansham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

FAQs for Flansham
Can sea air affect kitchen extract cleaning in Flansham?
It can, as Flansham is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Flansham?
Food hygiene inspections in Flansham are carried out by Arun council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Flansham before we set off.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Flansham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
