Kitchen extract cleaning near High Salvington

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Never cook with filters missing or out of place

You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.

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.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in High Salvington

The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Kitchens in High Salvington book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.

Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.

Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like High Salvington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Questions from High Salvington

Can the work in High Salvington be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in High Salvington needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Can school kitchens in High Salvington be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of High Salvington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

What information do you need?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in High Salvington?

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. You get a fixed price before any work starts.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?

Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Grease, kitchens and High Salvington

Food Standards Agency records include about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of High Salvington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Worthing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in High Salvington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. High Salvington is covered by 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.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter or elsewhere in High Salvington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Vale School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What affects the quote in High Salvington

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.

What happens on the day

Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Tell us when your site near High Salvington is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.

  1. We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Getting a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Advice

Why deal with it now?

Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. When a site near High Salvington shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we are called out for in High Salvington

Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.

The symptoms we are asked about most include:

  • Grease drips onto cooking equipment
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
  • A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history

Historic houses near High Salvington, such as Ecclesden Manor about 3.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • Whether they recommend a next date
