Kitchen extract cleaning in South Bersted, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in South Bersted gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in South Bersted, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like South Bersted gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Bersted
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Booking now means the visit to South Bersted is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What a clean will not put right
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)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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, and that’s where we come in.
What else we do in South Bersted
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like South Bersted, so let us know how to reach it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in South Bersted
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in South Bersted?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, South Bersted gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you work in villages like South Bersted?
Yes. South Bersted is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How much 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. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease, kitchens and South Bersted
Sea air reaches South Bersted, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 41 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central South Bersted. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in South Bersted are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like South Bersted CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Commuter trade near Bognor Regis station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about under half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
