West Sussex · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne, West Sussex
Kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nutbourne.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Nutbourne, 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 the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Nutbourne, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Nutbourne
Sea air reaches Nutbourne, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nutbourne. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Nutbourne is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall, or anywhere in Nutbourne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chidham Parochial Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When to call us in Nutbourne
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
For kitchens close to Nutbourne station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Nutbourne: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nutbourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Nutbourne?
Fire safety enforcement in Nutbourne is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
