TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Runcton
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Kitchens in Runcton book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a small place like Runcton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Runcton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What else we do in Runcton
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Runcton?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodwood House is about 3.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Runcton: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Runcton?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Runcton than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which environmental health team covers Runcton?
Kitchens in Runcton are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Do you cover Runcton?
Yes. We work in Runcton and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Runcton: the local picture
The coast is only about 3 miles from Runcton. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Runcton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Runcton, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Runcton, 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 dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Stephen or anywhere around Runcton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like St Richard's Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
