Rock: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Rock?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Rock keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Rock?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rock included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures of the fan. Full system cleans come with a TR19 certificate as well.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Rock
In Rock, as everywhere we work, the fan follows a set routine: isolated first, then opened, scraped and degreased. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, axial fans and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are a heavily greased fan housing and less air being pulled from the kitchen.
Work in a small place like Rock starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Rock?
Grease on a fan is a fire risk, in Rock as anywhere. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease escaping from the fan outlet
- Rough running from the extract fan
- Burning smells from the fan area
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.

What else we do in Rock
How we price extract fan cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Grease, kitchens and Rock
Kitchens in Rock get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Rock is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Parham House is about 3.9 miles west), access may need planning.
Rock is about 6 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Rock, extract fan cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, large and small. We also work in Brighton, about 13 miles from Rock.
Here we cover the RH20 postcode area for extract fan cleaning. Whether your site is on Old London Road, London Road and Lamorna Close or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Rock, we cover Washington (1 mile south), Heath Common (1 mile north-west), Sullington (1 mile west), Warminghurst (2 miles north) and Storrington (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Horsham (11 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south), Bognor Regis (15 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (15 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (12 miles east) and Littlehampton (9 miles south-west).
Around Rock
Around Rock, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Rydon Community College and The Frankland Arms Public House. Nearby you’ll also find The Storrington And District Museum (1.9 miles west). For a walk, there’s Chanctonbury Hill.
Why act early in Rock
Grease on the impeller makes the fan less efficient. Less air is pulled from the kitchen, so heat and smoke linger, while the motor runs under more strain. If the system at a site near Rock fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and blades
The blades of the impeller do the work, and grease builds up on them unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Kitchens with long cooking hours
A fan in a long-hours kitchen runs for most of the day, so grease and wear build up together. Cleaning on time helps keep it running.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A faulty speed controller or isolator
- A fan that was never right for the kitchen
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- In-line fans
- Fan housings
- Axial fans
- Discharge points
- Roof-mounted fans
- Centrifugal fans
The process
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 a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rock.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- The fan and its surrounds are degreased, keeping clear of the motor’s electrics.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
