In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
About our canopy cleaning in Rose Hill
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can help.
In a small place like Rose Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Rose Hill
However carefully a kitchen in Rose Hill is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rose Hill is Uckfield Community Hospital, about 3.1 miles north-east.
What to look for in a quote

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning won’t do:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Rose Hill, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Rose Hill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars across Rose Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Rose Hill is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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 Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rose Hill. 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Glyndebourne is about 3.4 miles south), access may need planning. For schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Rose Hill and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
