FAQs for Burgess Hill
Do you work overnight in Burgess Hill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Burgess Hill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Burgess Hill?
The local authority for Burgess Hill is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you work in Burgess Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Burgess Hill.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Burgess Hill
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Kitchens in Burgess Hill book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Most kitchens in a town like Burgess Hill can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We are fully insured
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A written report with photos after each visit

Kitchen extract cleaning around Burgess Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Burgess Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Burgess Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Burgess Hill sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:

Common problems we fix in Burgess Hill
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 1.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Burgess Hill will be.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
