Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Roffey
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Roffey, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Most kitchens in Roffey fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Kitchens around a place like Roffey are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Around Roffey, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Roffey
There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Roffey, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Roffey. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Roffey is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Roffey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Littlehaven station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Roffey, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Roffey: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Roffey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Roffey after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Roffey does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
When to call us in Roffey
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 1.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see 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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
