How we handle ductwork cleaning in Burgess Hill
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can help, from vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions onwards.
Around a town like Burgess Hill, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Burgess Hill: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Burgess Hill?
In Burgess Hill, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Burgess Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Burgess Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Burgess Hill and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Before the visit, a few photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan the work in Burgess Hill.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Booking now keeps it a routine visit to Burgess Hill rather than an urgent one.
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.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Ductwork cleaning in Burgess Hill: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 27 takeaways in and around Burgess Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Food hygiene inspections in Burgess Hill are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Burgess Hill is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Burgess Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. 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.

- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
