Petworth kitchen extract cleaning
Our technicians work in Petworth on kitchen extract cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Petworth
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Petworth: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Petworth 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a village or hamlet like Petworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send photos 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Petworth
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. In a place like Petworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Common questions in Petworth
Will you come out to Petworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Petworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Petworth are carried out by Chichester council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
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. Your quote says how long to expect.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What affects the quote in Petworth
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Petworth: the local picture
Look up Petworth on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Petworth. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Petworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Petworth is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Petworth (Petworth House is about 0.3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Sacred Heart Church or anywhere around Petworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Petworth Cof E Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, 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
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
