Twineham kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Twineham, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Twineham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Twineham, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. Most calls from Twineham 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.
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 Twineham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Twineham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Twineham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Twineham. 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. Kitchens in Twineham get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. 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.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Twineham?
In Twineham, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you survey before quoting?

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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 few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Twineham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Twineham
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Twineham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
