Kitchen duct cleaning in Gay Street
Across Gay Street, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Gay Street? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Gay Street: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Gay Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Gay Street
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Gay Street questions
Do you work at weekends in Gay Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Gay Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Gay Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Grease, kitchens and Gay Street
Gay Street is covered by 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. We cover Gay Street, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 2.4 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Gay Street is about 9 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex.

Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Gay Street is one of them. Brighton is in our area too, about 17 miles from Gay Street.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Gay Street.

What else we do in Gay Street
When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
Common problems we fix in Gay Street
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Around Gay Street, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
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.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
