What grease filter exchange looks like in Jenkins' Green
The coast is only about 3 miles from Jenkins' Green. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Jenkins' Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. The fire and rescue service for Jenkins' Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (about 3.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Hankham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Luke's Church or anywhere around Jenkins' Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

About our grease filter exchange in Jenkins' Green
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease filters clogged with grease.
Somewhere as small as Jenkins' Green, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- We diagnose before we treat
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Trading since 2009

Questions from Jenkins' Green
Is Jenkins' Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Jenkins' Green?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Jenkins' Green gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Jenkins' Green run smoothly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
