Managing agents and facilities teams in Slindon
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
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.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Slindon, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen taken over without any extract records. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Slindon it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Slindon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Slindon
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Slindon before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Grease, kitchens and Slindon
Look up Slindon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Slindon. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Slindon 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. Kitchens in Slindon get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Slindon CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Slindon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Slindon
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Slindon?
Food hygiene inspections in Slindon are carried out by Arun council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Slindon in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Slindon. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you cover Slindon?
Yes. We work in Slindon and the rest of West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What affects the quote in Slindon
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
