Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Fairwarp
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. Common call-outs are for hand-washed filters that still look greasy and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Fairwarp starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why act early in Fairwarp
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A planned visit to Fairwarp is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Fairwarp before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common questions in Fairwarp
Which environmental health team covers Fairwarp?
Kitchens in Fairwarp are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Fairwarp. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you give a price for filter changes?

What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
