FAQs for Milton Street
Which environmental health team covers Milton Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Milton Street are carried out by Wealden council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you work in Milton Street outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Milton Street needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Milton Street
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
In a small place like Milton Street, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Milton Street
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Milton Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. In Milton Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Milton Street 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Alfriston School or anywhere near Milton Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary and St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Milton Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

What affects the quote in Milton Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why act early in Milton Street
For any kitchen in Milton Street, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Milton Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Do you need grease filter exchange in Milton Street?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbourne District General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Milton Street, about 4.4 miles south-east.

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
