Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
For schools such as West Chiltington Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Nutbourne
Any kitchen we clean in Nutbourne gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Nutbourne? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Nutbourne, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne: the local picture
Fire safety in Nutbourne falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Nutbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Nutbourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Nutbourne, such as Old Place Manor about 1.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Nutbourne
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Nutbourne: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Nutbourne?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Nutbourne keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Nutbourne?
Nutbourne is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t 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.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Why act early in Nutbourne
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A planned visit to Nutbourne is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
