How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Strettington
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Kitchens in Strettington book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we’re called out for in Strettington
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Boxgrove CofE Primary School or anywhere near Strettington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

FAQs for Strettington
Will you come out to Strettington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Strettington is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Strettington?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Strettington needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Strettington?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Strettington kitchens: local notes
There are about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Strettington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Strettington is 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. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Strettington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Strettington, such as Goodwood House about 0.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Strettington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Related advice
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
