Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Tower Hill
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Tower Hill, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Tower Hill, you get one team and one number for every site.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Work in a small place like Tower Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Tower Hill
Can school kitchens in Tower Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Tower Hill. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can the work in Tower Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Tower Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Tower Hill
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Tower Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the quote in Tower Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Kitchen extracts in Tower Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 52 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Tower Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Tower Hill sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Tower Hill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Commuter trade near Christs Hospital 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 Horsham Hospital (about 1.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
