Kitchen extraction cleaning in Selsfield Common
Kitchen extract cleaning across Selsfield Common and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
The process
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Selsfield Common knowing what to expect.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Selsfield Common
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: 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. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can help, from canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Selsfield Common start: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Most kitchens in Selsfield Common fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Somewhere as small as Selsfield Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Selsfield Common affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters

What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
