TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Marden

The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on discharge points, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in West Marden it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.

Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.

In a small place like West Marden, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

West Marden questions

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in West Marden?

Food hygiene inspections in West Marden are carried out by Chichester council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Do you work in villages like West Marden?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and West Marden is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?

We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Marden

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The scale of the work

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

How the visit works

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to West Marden and turn up when the site is quiet.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why deal with it now?

Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in West Marden as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Somewhere as small as West Marden, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Different parts, different methods

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. Holidays make it simple to schedule.

Ductwork and risers

Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.

When something else is needed

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
