Kitchen extract cleaning in Funtington, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Funtington it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A clean in Funtington covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Funtington, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Funtington
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars in and around Funtington, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Funtington is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Funtington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Funtington Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Funtington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Funtington is about 4 miles north-west of Chichester, in West Sussex.

What else we do in Funtington
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Funtington
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. In a place like Funtington, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 will explain each part.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Funtington
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
West Dean House, about 4.6 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Funtington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why

Questions from Funtington
Who is the fire and rescue service for Funtington?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Funtington. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Funtington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Funtington included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself isn’t law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Funtington and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
