TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hurstpierpoint
Any kitchen we clean in Hurstpierpoint gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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 extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and stale cooking odours from the system, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Hurstpierpoint it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a smaller place like Hurstpierpoint, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A site near Hurstpierpoint that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hurstpierpoint
Food Standards Agency records list about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Hurstpierpoint and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Hurstpierpoint sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Hurstpierpoint, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; The Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hurstpierpoint, about 2.1 miles north.

Hurstpierpoint: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hurstpierpoint out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hurstpierpoint, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Hurstpierpoint?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Hurstpierpoint needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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 work in Hurstpierpoint?
Yes. Our technicians work in Hurstpierpoint, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
