Kitchen extract cleaning in Storrington, West Sussex
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Storrington? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
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, 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Storrington
Across Storrington, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We’re often asked to deal with a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Storrington, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a smaller kitchen near Storrington, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Booking now means the visit to Storrington is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a smaller place like Storrington, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When to call us in Storrington
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Storrington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common questions in Storrington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Storrington?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Storrington. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Storrington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Storrington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
