Part by part
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Baldslow
An exchange visit in Baldslow does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are blocked baffle filters and poor airflow through the filters.
In a small place like Baldslow, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove

Kitchen extracts in Baldslow
Baldslow lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Baldslow on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in Baldslow and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Kitchens in Baldslow get their food hygiene inspections from Hastings council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Baldslow
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Want a quote for grease filter exchange? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common problems we fix in Baldslow
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Durhamford Manor is about 3.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Questions from Baldslow
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Baldslow?
Fire safety enforcement in Baldslow is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Baldslow?
In Baldslow, it’s Hastings council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
