Kitchen extract cleaning around Furnace Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways across Furnace Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Furnace Green sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Furnace Green get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley council. 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.
For schools such as Brook Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Tyes Place is about 4.3 miles south), access may need planning.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Furnace Green
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and missing paperwork after a change of operator. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Furnace Green, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a smaller place like Furnace Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
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.

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you work in Furnace Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Furnace Green.
What staff can safely do
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
What we are called out for in Furnace Green
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hospital like Crawley Hospital, about 2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Everything the job in Furnace Green needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
