Kitchen extraction cleaning in Rock
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Rock, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rock
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Rock covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Rock
Food hygiene inspections in Rock are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. 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.
For schools such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually 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. If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rock, it’s easy to get a fixed quote: please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Our area covers London and the South East, Rock included. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, large and small. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby (13 miles or so).
Kitchen extract cleaning in RH20 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on Old London Road, London Road and Lamorna Close and nearby roads. Close by, we work in 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).
Local landmarks in Rock
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Rydon Community College and The Frankland Arms Public House, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include The Storrington And District Museum (1.9 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Chanctonbury Hill.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rock.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Rock can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Rock is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Rock

Common problems we fix in Rock
In Rock, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
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.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Common questions in Rock
Can you get to a site in Rock?
Yes, Rock is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Rock outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
