How kitchen extract cleaning works in BN44
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Around Steyning
Around Steyning, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near The Model Bakery The Norfolk Arms, Steyning Grammar School and Steyning CofE Primary School, among other places. Steyning’s nearest station is Lancing station, roughly 4.1 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Steyning Museum (less than half a mile north) and Southlands Hospital (4.4 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Woods Mill and Chanctonbury Hill.
Where we work in BN44
Across BN44, from Horsham, Steyning and Upper Beeding outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across BN44 don’t have to lose a day.
Steyning: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Steyning is Southlands Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-east. School kitchens, at schools like Steyning CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in BN44 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What we’re called out for in BN44
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
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.
Common questions in BN44
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Is BN44 in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes BN44.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
