Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Shopwyke
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shopwyke, you get one team and one number for every site.
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.
Somewhere as small as Shopwyke, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Shopwyke
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Richard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shopwyke, about 1.3 miles west.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Shopwyke
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

FAQs for Shopwyke
Can you get to a site in Shopwyke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Shopwyke outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
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.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Shopwyke
Look up Shopwyke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Shopwyke, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shopwyke. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Shopwyke falls to 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.
Goodwood House, about 2.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Shopwyke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Shopwyke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Shopwyke is about 2 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Shopwyke, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Shopwyke.
