Rosehill: your questions answered
Can you work in Rosehill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Rosehill needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Rosehill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Rosehill, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How often should the extract fan be cleaned?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: every 3, 6 or 12 months. Some fans need attention sooner.
How long does extract fan cleaning take?
One easily reached fan is quick, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
About our extract fan cleaning in Rosehill
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract fans since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and full insurance. Typical jobs include an extract fan with no cleaning record and a smell of hot grease from the extract, across fan housings, roof-mounted fans and in-line fans.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Rosehill, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rosehill
A fan that fails mid-service can stop a kitchen cooking. Many fan problems start with grease, so cleaning the fan helps keep it working. We also offer a 24/7 emergency callout if the worst happens. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

When to call us in Rosehill
By the time air reaches the fan, it has passed the canopy, filters and duct. The grease that is left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A heavily greased fan housing
- An extract fan that vibrates or rattles
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tweeddale Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include

- How VAT is shown on the quote
What affects the cost of extract fan cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Expect the work in Rosehill to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it cannot run while we work.
- Grease is scraped off the impeller blades and casing.
- Blades, housing and surrounds are degreased with care around the electrics.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Extract fan cleaning in Rosehill: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Rosehill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rosehill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Rosehill sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Rosehill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Sutton Common station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
