Kitchen extract cleaning in North Crawley
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in North Crawley, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in North Crawley, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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.
For a kitchen in or near North Crawley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
What we are called out for in North Crawley
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in North Crawley, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Firmin or elsewhere in North Crawley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What affects the quote in North Crawley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in North Crawley, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, 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 North Crawley, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Crawley
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A fault that closes a site in a village like North Crawley affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

North Crawley questions

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
