Questions from Burgh Hill
Do you work overnight in Burgh Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Burgh Hill?
Kitchens in Burgh Hill are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Grease filter exchange in Burgh Hill
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We are often asked to deal with a greasy plenum behind the filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Burgh Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
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, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease, kitchens and Burgh Hill
Look up Burgh Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Burgh Hill. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Burgh Hill sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Burgh Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Burgh Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Etchingham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
When to call us in Burgh Hill
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
For schools such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. In a place like Burgh Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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 go through it with you.
