Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Pulborough?
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 does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
For schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Pulborough
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and stale cooking odours from the system. When a restaurant in Pulborough asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a smaller kitchen near Pulborough, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Tell us when your site near Pulborough is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

Pulborough questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Pulborough?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Pulborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
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. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pulborough
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Pulborough than wait for a failure.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Kitchen extracts in Pulborough
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pulborough. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Pulborough are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. 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. Pulborough sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Pulborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Pulborough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
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.
