Grease filter exchange in High Hurstwood, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in High Hurstwood, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are staff short of time to wash filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Somewhere as small as High Hurstwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in High Hurstwood knowing what to expect.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Why act early in High Hurstwood
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. Somewhere as small as High Hurstwood, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Questions from High Hurstwood
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in High Hurstwood?
Kitchens in High Hurstwood are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is High Hurstwood within the area you cover?
Yes. High Hurstwood is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out, so we swap them in one go.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What grease filter exchange looks like in High Hurstwood
At about 35 miles from central London, High Hurstwood sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in High Hurstwood get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in High Hurstwood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as High Hurstwood Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (about 2.7 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
