Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Burwash Common
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Burwash Common on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. We’re often asked to deal with grease collecting in the filter channels and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Burwash Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Burwash Common: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Burwash Common?
Burwash Common is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Burwash Common outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
That depends on the amount of work, but for a typical site it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you work in Burwash Common?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Burwash Common included.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report.

- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
