TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Lurgashall
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 film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We are often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Lurgashall asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lurgashall.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Somewhere as small as Lurgashall, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Lurgashall
- Plenums and filters

- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
When to call us in Lurgashall
A kitchen in Lurgashall builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
