Grease filter exchange in Beckley
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Beckley on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about a canopy that drips grease and poor airflow through the filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a village or hamlet like Beckley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work

Common questions in Beckley
Which environmental health team covers Beckley?
Kitchens in Beckley are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Beckley?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Beckley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
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.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
When to call us in Beckley
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
Historic houses near Beckley, such as Great Dixter about 2.3 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Beckley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
