Kitchen duct cleaning in Worthing
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Worthing, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Worthing, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in West Sussex.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In Worthing, extract cleaning fits around service: late at night, early in the morning or on a closed day. Bigger sites can be done kitchen by kitchen, so cooking carries on elsewhere.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Worthing: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Worthing?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Worthing. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Worthing be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Worthing, the Food Standards Agency lists about 18 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
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. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you work in Worthing?
Yes. Worthing is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When to call us in Worthing
In Worthing, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Commuter trade near West Worthing station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Worthing
Sea air reaches Worthing, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 69 pubs, bars and clubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Worthing and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Worthing get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Acre about 1.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Worthing, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Worthing
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a busy place like Worthing, a system that is left only gets dirtier and harder to put right.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
