Kitchen duct cleaning in Salvington
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and stale cooking odours from the system. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Salvington normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Most kitchens in Salvington 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, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Salvington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Salvington
Salvington is within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 29 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Salvington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Salvington is covered by 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Durrington Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Symphorian's Church or elsewhere in Salvington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Salvington is about 1 mile north of Worthing, in West Sussex.

Green spaces nearby include Widewater Lagoon and Highdown Hill.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us when your site near Salvington is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Salvington questions
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Salvington?
It can. Salt air reaches Salvington, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Salvington?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Salvington. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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 an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Salvington
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Acre (about 1.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
