Kitchen extract cleaning across PO21: what to expect
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across PO21: local notes
Across PO21, from Bognor Regis, Nyetimber and Aldwick 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.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Near the coast in PO21, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.
Bognor Regis: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bognor Regis, about 0.5 miles east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Bognor Regis, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Common problems we fix in PO21
In PO21, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- An undersized canopy or fan
PO21 questions
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
