About our kitchen extract cleaning in Rowfant
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Rowfant usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Rowfant, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rowfant, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rowfant
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Parish Church or elsewhere in Rowfant, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Rowfant
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Rowfant 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. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Rowfant. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Rowfant. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School or anywhere near Rowfant, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Rowfant: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Rowfant?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Rowfant keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Rowfant?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Why act early in Rowfant
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a place like Rowfant, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
