Kitchen duct cleaning in Warningcamp
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Warningcamp start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Warningcamp: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Warningcamp, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Warningcamp
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital about 1.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Grease, kitchens and Warningcamp
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warningcamp. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Warningcamp is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Warningcamp. 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Littlehampton Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Warningcamp (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Warningcamp can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. In a small place like Warningcamp, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Warningcamp, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What affects the quote in Warningcamp
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Warningcamp: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Warningcamp?
Yes. Warningcamp is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Warningcamp?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Warningcamp. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
