Our kitchen extract cleaning service in BN12
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How we quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
What’s near Ferring
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Chatsmore Catholic High School, St Andrew's Church and Ferring CofE Primary School, among other places. Ferring’s nearest station is Goring-By-Sea station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Rustington Museum (2.4 miles west) and Old Castle (2.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Ferring include Highdown Hill.
Kitchen extract cleaning around BN12
Kitchens across BN12 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
BN12 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price. Coastal kitchens in BN12 often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Ferring: Commuter trade near Goring-By-Sea station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. For schools such as Ferring CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in BN12 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Look out for any of the following:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in BN12
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
