Questions from Maresfield
Do you cover smaller places like Maresfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Maresfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes a few hours for most canopies. Your quote will give a time.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
About our canopy cleaning in Maresfield
For canopies and hoods in Maresfield, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get photos of the canopy before and after. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease channels that no longer drain, we can put it right, from wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Maresfield, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep the fan on through service
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A fault that closes a site in a village like Maresfield affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere as small as Maresfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Maresfield kitchens: local notes
Look up Maresfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Maresfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Maresfield falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Maresfield. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Bonners CofE School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Maresfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
