About our grease filter exchange in Lions Green
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: 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.

How the visit works
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. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lions Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lions Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Questions from Lions Green
Do you work at weekends in Lions Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Lions Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is Lions Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lions Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease, kitchens and Lions Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Lions Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. The fire and rescue service for Lions Green is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lions Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 4 miles south), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Lions Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hellingly Hospital Railway (about 4.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
