What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Burlow knowing what to expect.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Burlow
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and grease dripping from the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like Burlow, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burlow
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burlow is calmer for everyone.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Burlow
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Horselunges Manor, about 2.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Burlow; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Grease filter exchange in Burlow: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Burlow. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Burlow. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Burlow get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Burlow is Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 2.8 miles south-east. Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Burlow, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
