What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that won’t run

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Portfield
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Portfield, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Portfield? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Around a smaller place like Portfield, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings

What affects the quote in Portfield
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Other services in Portfield
Why act early in Portfield
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Portfield questions
Which fire service covers Portfield?
Portfield is in the area of 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.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Portfield during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Portfield. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Portfield kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and B&Bs across Portfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Portfield is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Food hygiene inspections in Portfield are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Portfield Primary Academy or anywhere near Portfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Commuter trade near Chichester station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's or anywhere around Portfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
