How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Beeding
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Lower Beeding, you get one team and one number for every site.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Lower Beeding 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- 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 send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lower Beeding: the local picture
Food hygiene inspections in Lower Beeding are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Lower Beeding 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Lower Beeding, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lower Beeding is Horsham Hospital, about 3.8 miles north-west.

What else we do in Lower Beeding
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Beeding
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Lower Beeding, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Lower Beeding: your questions answered
Is Lower Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Lower Beeding?
Kitchens in Lower Beeding are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
