Cooper's Green: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Cooper's Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Cooper's Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Cooper's Green?
Cooper's Green is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. If the system at a site near Cooper's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Cooper's Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cooper's Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Cooper's Green is covered by East 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. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cooper's Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel or elsewhere in Cooper's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Uckfield Community Hospital (about 1.7 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Cooper's Green is about 2 miles north of Uckfield, in East Sussex.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
What we’re called out for in Cooper's Green
Long cooking hours in Cooper's Green or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.

- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters

What we do, step by step

- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
