Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Glynde
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and people most often call us about missing filters in the filter bank and grease filters clogged with grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Glynde
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
For kitchens close to Glynde station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Glynde.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Why it’s worth doing now in Glynde
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. With notice, the visit to Glynde can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?

Grease filter exchange in Glynde: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Glynde. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Glynde falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Glynde. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Glynde, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Glynde is Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 3.3 miles west.

FAQs for Glynde
Do you work at weekends in Glynde?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Glynde does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Glynde within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Glynde included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
