How kitchen extract cleaning works in RH12
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in RH12, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease smells coming from the extract, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in RH12
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Local landmarks in Horsham
Around Horsham, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Millais School, Hope Chapel and Kingslea Primary School. You’ll also find Bohunt Horsham (under half a mile north), Brewhouse & Kitchen pub (within half a mile south-west) and Warnham Park (1.5 miles north-west). There’s a railway station in Horsham itself: Horsham station. A little further out are Christs Hospital School Museum (2.4 miles south-west) and Horsham Hospital (within half a mile north-west). Not far away are Warnham LNR.
Kitchen extracts across RH12
In RH12, a busy kitchen in a place such as Crawley, Horsham and Bewbush and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
RH12 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.
Horsham: If you run a café or takeaway near Horsham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Hope Chapel, or anywhere in Horsham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in RH12
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
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’ll tell you how long when we quote.
