What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in South Mundham
South Mundham lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in South Mundham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in South Mundham are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 3.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as North Mundham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Mundham
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for grease drips onto cooking equipment and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in South Mundham? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in South Mundham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as South Mundham, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in South Mundham
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in South Mundham before we set off.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in South Mundham?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in South Mundham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
South Mundham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in South Mundham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to South Mundham?
Yes. South Mundham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
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 records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
