Grease filter exchange in Bells Yew Green
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease left in baffles after washing and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
In a small place like Bells Yew Green, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bells Yew Green
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
FAQs for Bells Yew Green
Do you work at weekends in Bells Yew Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bells Yew Green can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Bells Yew Green?
The local authority for Bells Yew Green is Wealden 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.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We will confirm it with the quote.

School, care home and staff kitchens
