What grease filter exchange cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies

- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens

- Island canopies
Grease filter exchange in Burwash, done properly
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We are often asked to deal with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Burwash, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Burwash.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

When to call us in Burwash
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Burwash, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
