Fulking: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Fulking?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover smaller places like Fulking?
Yes, Fulking is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens on a pre-clean survey?
It’s a look at the whole extract before it’s cleaned, with readings and pictures. The survey can be done from photos and details or on site, whichever suits the system.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will you produce a report for our insurer?
Yes. Insurers often want evidence the extract is managed to TR19®, and our audit gives a clear record of the system’s condition, along with any actions needed.
What is post-clean verification?
After a clean, we take new readings and pictures to show how the system was left. It can follow our own cleans or another contractor’s.
How we handle TR19 inspection in Fulking
Grease thickness testing tells you how much grease is sitting in the canopy, ducts and fan. We use the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or the Deposit Thickness Test (DTT), taking readings at set points. From the numbers, you can see whether cleaning is due. If you are dealing with missing access panels found on survey and extracts that have never been grease tested, we can put it right, from post-clean checks, access surveys and insurer audits onwards.
Somewhere as small as Fulking, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

TR19 inspection in Fulking: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fulking. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Fulking. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fulking. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Portslade Manor, about 3.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Fulking; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Fulking, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Southlands Hospital, about 3.7 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Local landmarks in Fulking

A little further out are Clayton Castle (3.7 miles east) and Southlands Hospital (3.7 miles south). Open spaces near Fulking include Truleigh Hill and Woods Mill.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Fulking and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes around an hour or two per canopy and duct system. Somewhere as small as Fulking, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and pictures recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Have the latest report ready for insurance renewals
- File every inspection report with your certificates
- Flag changes in how much frying the kitchen does
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
Keep the verification report next to the certificate it relates to. Together they show the system was cleaned and checked.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. Fresh readings show whether it needs to change.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- Fire safety duties beyond the extract system
- Installation problems, which fall under design guidance such as DW172
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Readings show if the cleans are frequent enough.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum behind the filters can carry a lot of grease. Readings and photos are taken in the plenum as part of every survey.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
