Kitchen duct cleaning in Haslingbourne
Across Haslingbourne, 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. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. Most calls from Haslingbourne come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Work in a small place like Haslingbourne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Haslingbourne
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Petworth House is about 1.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Questions from Haslingbourne
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Haslingbourne?
In Haslingbourne, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Haslingbourne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Haslingbourne needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will I get a certificate after the 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 far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Haslingbourne?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Haslingbourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Managing agents and facilities teams in Haslingbourne
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Haslingbourne and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Haslingbourne affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Haslingbourne
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Haslingbourne. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Haslingbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Haslingbourne falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Haslingbourne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
