Kitchen duct cleaning in Stedham
Across Stedham, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. Most calls from Stedham come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Stedham goes.
In a village or hamlet like Stedham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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, which slows build-up further down the system.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stedham
The fire and rescue service for Stedham is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. At about 46 miles from central London, Stedham sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For schools such as Stedham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St James, or anywhere in Stedham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Stedham knowing what to expect.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

When to call us in Stedham
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 1.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
