The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woolbeding.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Woolbeding
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. When a restaurant in Woolbeding asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a small place like Woolbeding, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why act early in Woolbeding
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, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A planned visit to Woolbeding is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

What else we do in Woolbeding
Kitchen extracts in Woolbeding
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Woolbeding. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Woolbeding. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Woolbeding get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of All Hollows or elsewhere in Woolbeding, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Historic houses near Woolbeding, such as Cowdray House about 1.3 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Woolbeding
Can you get to a site in Woolbeding?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Woolbeding is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Woolbeding?
Kitchens in Woolbeding are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Common problems we fix in Woolbeding
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stedham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
