Kitchen extract cleaning in Newtimber, done properly
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. 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. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across West Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Newtimber goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Newtimber starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Newtimber, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Newtimber: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Newtimber?
Newtimber is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Newtimber?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Newtimber can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is Newtimber in your area?
Yes. We cover Newtimber and the rest of West Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Newtimber kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newtimber. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Newtimber are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Newtimber is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Historic houses near Newtimber, such as Portslade Manor about 4.6 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; The Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newtimber, about 4.2 miles north.

Why it’s worth doing now in Newtimber
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A planned visit to Newtimber is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay 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.

Common problems we fix in Newtimber
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St John Evangelist, or anywhere in Newtimber, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. Leave those to us.

When something else is needed
