Burwash Common: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Burwash Common?
Yes. Burwash Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Burwash Common after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Burwash Common needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Are the filters cleaned too?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that is where grease hides.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers baffle filters, grease gutters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy streaks across the canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
In a village or hamlet like Burwash Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Leave it or put it right?
A canopy clean in Burwash Common now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a small place like Burwash Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Burwash Common
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A filter housing caked in grease
Where a hall near St Philip's Church, or anywhere in Burwash Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Burwash Common kitchens: local notes
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Burwash Common. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burwash Common. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ticehurst House Hospital is the nearest hospital to Burwash Common, about 5.1 miles north-east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burwash Common (Bateman's is about 1.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Burwash Common is about 9 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. We provide canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Burwash Common and the rest of East Sussex. Burwash Common is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex we cover for canopy cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 21 miles away.
All of TN19 is within our area for canopy cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Westdown Lane, Vicarage Road and Vicarage Lane and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Burwash Common: Burwash Weald (1 mile east), Punnett's Town (2 miles south-west), Burwash (2 miles north-east), Dallington (3 miles south) and Wood's Corner (3 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles south), Hastings (13 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (11 miles south-east), Hailsham (9 miles south-west), Crowborough (9 miles north-west) and St Leonards (13 miles south-east).
Around Burwash Common
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Wheel Inn. The nearest railway station is Stonegate station, about 2.7 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Ticehurst House Hospital (5.1 miles north-east) and Old Castle (2.7 miles south).
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Burwash Common knowing what to expect.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
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.

How we price canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
