How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Warnham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Warnham, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Warnham, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Most kitchens in Warnham fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Warnham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Warnham?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Warnham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can the work in Warnham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Warnham can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Warnham is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. In a small place like Warnham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Warnham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Warnham: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Warnham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Warnham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Warnham is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 1.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Warnham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common problems we fix in Warnham
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Warnham CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
