TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Warminghurst
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for missing paperwork after a change of operator and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Warminghurst covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Warminghurst: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Warminghurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What else we do in Warminghurst
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Warminghurst, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Warminghurst?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or anywhere in Warminghurst, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Warminghurst
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Warminghurst and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Warminghurst
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Somewhere as small as Warminghurst, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Warminghurst: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Warminghurst?
The local authority for Warminghurst is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come to Warminghurst after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work in Warminghurst?
Yes. Warminghurst is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Grease, kitchens and Warminghurst
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warminghurst. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Warminghurst is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Warminghurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
