Holbrook kitchen extract cleaning
We cover Holbrook for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Holbrook
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Holbrook, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Holbrook covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Holbrook, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Holbrook knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.

What else we do in Holbrook
Managing agents and facilities teams in Holbrook
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. If the system at a site near Holbrook fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Holbrook?
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Holbrook is Horsham Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Holbrook questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Holbrook?
In Holbrook, it’s Horsham 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.
Is Holbrook within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Holbrook is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Holbrook?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Kitchen extracts in Holbrook
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holbrook, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Holbrook. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Holbrook. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mark's Church or anywhere around Holbrook, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A kitchen near Warnham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
