Kitchen extract cleaning in Rudgwick
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Rudgwick, normally within one working day. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Rudgwick it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Rudgwick: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like Rudgwick, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every 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 your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Rudgwick
Which fire service covers Rudgwick?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Rudgwick. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Rudgwick after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Rudgwick keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you cover Rudgwick?
Yes. Our technicians work in Rudgwick, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Rudgwick
Rudgwick is about 32 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Rudgwick are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Rudgwick, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 5.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rudgwick Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Rudgwick is about 6 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Rudgwick and the rest of West Sussex. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Rudgwick among them. Guildford is in our area too, about 12 miles from Rudgwick.

Part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, 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 goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
