Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Broyle Side
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and a canopy running with filters missing, on mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Broyle Side starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease filter exchange around Broyle Side
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Broyle Side. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Broyle Side. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Broyle Side is covered by East 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Broyle Side, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital about 4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Report a dripping canopy early
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What affects the quote in Broyle Side
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
FAQs for Broyle Side
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Broyle Side during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Broyle Side, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Broyle Side?
The local authority for Broyle Side is Lewes council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
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 you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. The timing of a visit to Broyle Side is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
