Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Watersfield
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. When a restaurant in Watersfield asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Watersfield 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
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. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Watersfield can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every job surveyed first
- In business since 2009
- Photo reports with every job

Kitchen extract cleaning around Watersfield
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Watersfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 44 miles out from central London, Watersfield is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Historic houses near Watersfield, such as Bignor Roman Villa about 1.8 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Watersfield is Arundel and District Hospital, about 5.4 miles south. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Watersfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Watersfield is about 8 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Watersfield gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Brighton, roughly 20 miles from Watersfield.

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’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Watersfield and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What else we do in Watersfield
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Watersfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Common questions in Watersfield
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Watersfield?
Watersfield is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Watersfield?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Watersfield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
