Kitchen extract cleaning in West Kingston, West Sussex
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in West Kingston, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Kingston.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for 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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in West Kingston
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in West Kingston?
Food hygiene inspections in West Kingston are carried out by Arun council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire service covers West Kingston?
West Kingston 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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Kingston
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Kingston (Ecclesden Manor is about 1.7 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in West Kingston
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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 affects the quote in West Kingston
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in West Kingston
The coast is only about 1 mile from West Kingston. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways in West Kingston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers West Kingston. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Preston Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in West Kingston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
West Kingston is about 3 miles east of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. West Kingston gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, and West Kingston is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page, about 15 miles away.
Work in BN16 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Coastal Road and Golden Acre and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Angmering-on-Sea (1 mile west), Kingston Gorse (1 mile east), East Preston (1 mile north-west), Ferring (1 mile east) and Hangleton (1 mile north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Worthing (3 miles north-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles west), Chichester (14 miles west), Selsey (15 miles west), Littlehampton (3 miles west) and Shoreham-by-Sea (9 miles east).
Landmarks near West Kingston
In West Kingston, that means kitchens and buildings near The Angmering School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Angmering station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Rustington Museum (1.6 miles west) and Old Castle (3.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Highdown Hill.
Why act early in West Kingston
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near West Kingston rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
