Kitchen extract cleaning in BN15: how it works
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. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Landmarks near Lancing
Typical jobs here are in premises near St. Michael & All Angels, Brooklands Park and The Sir Robert Woodard Academy and the streets around them. Nearby too are Sompting Abbotts Preparatory School (1.5 miles north-west), The Railway pub (less than half a mile south-west) and The Globe Primary Academy (less than half a mile north-west). There’s a railway station in Lancing itself: Lancing station. Well-known places in the area include Worthing Hospital (2 miles south-west) and Old Castle (3.1 miles west). For a walk, there’s Lancing Ring and Widewater Lagoon.
Where we work in BN15
From Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and Sompting to its smaller places, BN15 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and BN15 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in BN15. In the coastal parts of BN15, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.
Lancing: If you cook for passing trade around Lancing station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Globe Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Managing agents and facilities teams in BN15
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in BN15 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in BN15
Can you look after several 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.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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 needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
