Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Shoreham-by-Sea
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Shoreham-by-Sea, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Shoreham-by-Sea it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Around a town like Shoreham-by-Sea, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Shoreham-by-Sea
Sea air reaches Shoreham-by-Sea, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 53 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Shoreham-by-Sea. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Shoreham-by-Sea sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Commuter trade near Shoreham-By-Sea station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Buckingham Park Primary School or anywhere near Shoreham-by-Sea, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shoreham-by-Sea
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fresh certificate on file is the best thing to have when someone asks to see your records.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Shoreham-by-Sea be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 6 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Shoreham-by-Sea. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Shoreham-by-Sea?
It can, as Shoreham-by-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Do you cover Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes. Shoreham-by-Sea is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We arrive in Shoreham-by-Sea once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

When to call us in Shoreham-by-Sea
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary de Haura Church or elsewhere in Shoreham-by-Sea, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
