How we handle canopy cleaning in Mill Corner
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. If you have smoke hanging around the canopy during service and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help.
Work in a small place like Mill Corner 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, 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
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

- Problems your staff have spotted

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Mill Corner is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Why act early in Mill Corner
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mill Corner is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Common questions in Mill Corner
Which fire authority looks after Mill Corner?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mill Corner. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Mill Corner?
Yes, Mill Corner is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Common problems we fix in Mill Corner
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Mill Corner (Great Dixter is about 1.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
