About our kitchen extract cleaning in Keeper's Corner
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Keeper's Corner covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Keeper's Corner: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Keeper's Corner starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Keeper's Corner
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Keeper's Corner, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Common questions in Keeper's Corner
Who inspects food businesses in Keeper's Corner?
The local authority for Keeper's Corner is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Keeper's Corner outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Keeper's Corner does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
When to call us in Keeper's Corner
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Saint Hill Manor is about 4.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.

Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Keeper's Corner. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

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.

When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
