Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Oving
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Oving give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and stale cooking odours from the system, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Most calls from Oving come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a village or hamlet like Oving, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
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.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

What else we do in Oving
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Oving.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Oving
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Oving
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 2.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Oving questions
Can school kitchens in Oving be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Oving, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oving?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Oving. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Grease, kitchens and Oving
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Oving and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Oving. 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. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Oving. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Goodwood House, about 2.4 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Oving; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Oving, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
