Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rock
If the ducts in Rock haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and grease leaking from duct joints, we can help, from access panels, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Work in a small place like Rock starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rock affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

- One number for every site across the South East and London

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What else we do in Rock
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Questions from Rock
Will you come out to Rock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Rock?
Kitchens in Rock are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we’ll recommend where.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Grease, kitchens and Rock
At about 43 miles from central London, Rock sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Fire safety in Rock falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Rock, such as Parham House about 3.9 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Rock is about 6 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Rock gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Rock is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for commercial clients. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby, about 13 miles away.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere like Rock, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Rock
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Rock, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
