What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Warninglid
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Warninglid, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can help, from canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Warninglid, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Warninglid goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Warninglid, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Warninglid are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
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.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Warninglid
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Warninglid?
Kitchens in Warninglid are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warninglid?
Warninglid is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What happens if you cannot 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.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is Warninglid in your area?
Yes. We work in Warninglid and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
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. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Warninglid?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Fat running down the canopy edge
A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 3.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
