Burgh Hill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Burgh Hill. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Burgh Hill. 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. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Burgh Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Burgh Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 3.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Burgh Hill
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Somewhere as small as Burgh Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we are called out for in Burgh Hill
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Etchingham Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burgh Hill run smoothly.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Burgh Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burgh Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Burgh Hill?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Burgh Hill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burgh Hill
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Planning a trip to Burgh Hill ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

What else we do in Burgh Hill
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
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 will explain each part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
