Why it’s worth doing now in Rotherbridge
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. That stains surfaces and can add to the fire risk outside the building, which is one more reason to keep it clean. In a small place like Rotherbridge, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Extract fan cleaning in Rotherbridge, done properly
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. The work covers fan housings, discharge points and centrifugal fans, and people most often call us about a noisy fan that has got louder over time and grease around the motor and its mounts.
For a kitchen in or near Rotherbridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extracts in Rotherbridge
The Food Standards Agency lists about 9 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Rotherbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rotherbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Rotherbridge. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of All Hallows or anywhere around Rotherbridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 5 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Do you need extract fan cleaning in Rotherbridge?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. Whatever grease is still in it settles on the impeller and inside the housing where the spinning blades spread it around.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
- A fan motor running hot under a coat of grease
- Burning smells from the fan area
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Petworth Cof E Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Rotherbridge: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rotherbridge?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rotherbridge. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Rotherbridge?
Yes. Rotherbridge is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the fan be cleaned between full cleans?
Yes, a fan can be cleaned on its own. That helps when the fan needs attention before the next full clean, but it does not replace a full TR19 clean.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, a full TR19 clean includes the fan. Anything that can’t be reached is recorded, so the record is accurate.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
With the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance: from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use. Some fans need attention sooner.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Rotherbridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Somewhere as small as Rotherbridge, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We locate the fan and plan how to reach and isolate it.
- It’s isolated so it can’t run while we work.
- We scrape the heavy grease from the blades and housing.
- The fan is degreased, taking care around the motor.
- It’s closed up, run, checked and photographed for the report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
