Our kitchen extract cleaning service in BN5
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in BN5, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and missing paperwork after a change of operator.
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across BN5: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across BN5 takes in places such as Henfield, Small Dole and Blackstone and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for BN5, 6 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
BN5 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.
Henfield: For schools such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the quote in BN5
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Why it fails
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
FAQs for BN5
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
Is BN5 in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, BN5 included.
