Our kitchen extract cleaning service in BN14
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in BN14, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and poor airflow at the canopy, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in BN14
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning across BN14: local notes
In BN14, we work in places such as Worthing, Broadwater and Salvington and well beyond. Every place on our BN14 list (9 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
BN14 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. Along the coast in BN14, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Broadwater: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadwater is Worthing Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Broadwater CofE Primary School or anywhere near Broadwater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, which is where we come in.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in BN14
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
