Burgess Hill · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Burgess Hill restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill fries hard along Church Walk, Station Road and Church Road, where chip shops, takeaways, cafes and the town-centre pizza and Indian houses run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Station Road, Junction Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Burgess Hill, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Station Road and Junction Road cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Burgess Hill fan is not working against a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Station Road cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Junction Road service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Burgess Hill fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Burgess Hill's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Burgess Hill cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy Station Road line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a Station Road line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Junction Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Burgess Hill
We are under Burgess Hill's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An established curry house in Burgess Hill had a heavy grease load through the filters and extract duct off the frying range. We degreased the canopy, filters and plenum back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. Cleaned to the TR19 standard, the system was drawing properly once more, backed by full documentation for their records. We fitted the visit around opening time so the staff weren't disturbed.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Burgess Hill service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Station Road cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Junction Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Burgess Hill canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy Station Road or Junction Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Station Road, Junction Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Sussex.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Church Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Station Road and Junction Road are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Junction Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight Station Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Burgess Hill has the employer, college and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Local knowledge
The clay that built Burgess Hill made it a town of brickfields and potteries, and its terracotta ornament was shipped out by the nightly trains to the growing seaside towns of Eastbourne, Bexhill and Hastings. The town lives on food and services now rather than clay, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
