TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ingrams Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Ingrams Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Ingrams Green: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
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 we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What else we do in Ingrams Green
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Ingrams Green
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Ingrams Green: the local picture
We cover Ingrams Green, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Ingrams Green. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 3 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.1 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Ingrams Green is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. From the centre of Ingrams Green to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Ingrams Green is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 17 miles from Ingrams Green.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Why act early in Ingrams Green
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Planning a trip to Ingrams Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Ingrams Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
