Common questions in Lyminster
Which fire service covers Lyminster?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lyminster?
Food hygiene inspections in Lyminster are carried out by Arun council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
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. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Lyminster
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Lyminster, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Lyminster, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Lyminster, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Lyminster?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lyminster Primary School or anywhere near Lyminster, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Before booking anyone

- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Lyminster, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Lyminster as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In a place like Lyminster, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lyminster
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Lyminster
Sea air reaches Lyminster, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 58 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways in Lyminster and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Lyminster are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital about 1.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen or elsewhere in Lyminster, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

The closest station to Lyminster is Arundel station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.

Different parts, different methods
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, including the filter housing.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
