Kitchen extract cleaning in West Stoke
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 grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, we can put it right. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Stoke, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in West Stoke goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near West Stoke, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Stoke
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in West Stoke
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

West Stoke: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in West Stoke?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in West Stoke keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in West Stoke?
Kitchens in West Stoke are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you cover West Stoke?
Yes. We work in West Stoke and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Stoke, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You send photos 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in West Stoke
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central West Stoke, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Stoke. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Stoke is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chichester Centre (about 2.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in West Stoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Stoke (West Dean House is about 3.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
West Stoke is about 3 miles north-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO18, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, West Stoke among them. We also work in Portsmouth, around 12 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in PO18 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Horse And Groom Public House, among other places. West Stoke’s nearest station is Fishbourne station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Castle (3 miles south-east) and Chichester Centre (2.8 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Stoke Down and Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
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. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
