Grease filter exchange in Cade Street
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
In a small place like Cade Street, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in Cade Street
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. With notice, the visit to Cade Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Cade Street?
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital, about 5.5 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Cade Street
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems

- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Cade Street.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Cade Street kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Cade Street. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cade Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Cade Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Cade Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Heathfield Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Cade Street
Can the work in Cade Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Cade Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cade Street is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Where do the greasy filters go?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
