What affects the quote in Burgess Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
About our canopy cleaning in Burgess Hill
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you are dealing with greasy streaks across the canopy and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can help.
In a town like Burgess Hill, most of the kitchen extracts we are asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. We arrive in Burgess Hill once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burgess Hill
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

More services for Burgess Hill
Canopy cleaning around Burgess Hill
There are about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 27 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Burgess Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Burgess Hill is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Burgess Hill are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist's Church or elsewhere in Burgess Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 1.7 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you cook for passing trade around Burgess Hill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Work in RH15 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Burgess Hill is on the A273 and B2036, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for out-of-hours visits.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Burgess Hill
- Plenum chambers

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Questions from Burgess Hill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Burgess Hill?
The local authority for Burgess Hill is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Burgess Hill?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burgess Hill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Do you work in Burgess Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Burgess Hill included.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
