About kitchen extract cleaning in PO18
Across PO18, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- 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.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- 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.
What affects the price in PO18

Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Landmarks near Bosham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The United Reformed Church, The Berkeley Arms Public House and Bosham Primary School and the streets around them. Bosham’s nearest station is Bosham station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.2 miles east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles east). Not far away are Nutborne Marshes and Stoke Down.
Kitchen extracts across PO18
Kitchens across PO18 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in PO18, the work is done to the same TR19® standard. PO18 includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.
Bosham: Commuter trade near Bosham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Bosham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we are called out for in PO18
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 are asked about most include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
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 to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Questions from PO18
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
