Kitchen extract cleaning in Lordington
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Lordington? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Lordington covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Lordington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is 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.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Lordington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Lordington
Lordington sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Lordington, about 55 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Racton Church or elsewhere in Lordington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bourne Community College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Havant War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lordington, about 4.7 miles south-west.
Lordington is about 4 miles east of Havant, in West Sussex. Lordington gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Lordington among them. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page (10 miles or so).
Work in PO18 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Nearby, we also carry out kitchen extract cleaning in Racton (1 mile south), Walderton (1 mile north-east), Funtington (2 miles south-east), Hambrook (2 miles south) and West Ashling (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (11 miles south-east), Chichester (6 miles south-east), Selsey (11 miles south-east), Emsworth (3 miles south-west), Portfield (6 miles south-east) and Yapton (13 miles east).
Local landmarks in Lordington
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Stansted Park. The closest station to Lordington is Southbourne station, roughly 2.5 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Havant War Memorial Hospital (4.7 miles south-west) and Emsworth Museum (3.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve and Walderton Down.
Lordington questions
Is Lordington within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lordington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Lordington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lordington keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
