Kitchen extraction cleaning in Hambrook

- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Hambrook is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Planning a trip to Hambrook ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hambrook
Across Hambrook, 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. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Hambrook asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Hambrook covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a small place like Hambrook, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Hambrook, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When to call us in Hambrook
In Hambrook, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chidham Parochial Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

Hambrook kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hambrook. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Hambrook. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Hambrook sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall, or anywhere in Hambrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 4.7 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Hambrook is about 5 miles west of Chichester, in West Sussex. From the centre of Hambrook to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building.

Questions from Hambrook
Which council inspects kitchens in Hambrook?
The local authority for Hambrook is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Hambrook?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hambrook included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
