Litlington kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Litlington. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Litlington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Litlington sits within the area of 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel or anywhere around Litlington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Historic houses near Litlington, such as Alfriston Clergy House about 0.5 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Litlington is Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 4.1 miles west.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Litlington
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you are dealing with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Litlington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Litlington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us 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
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease deep in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Litlington knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Litlington: your questions answered
Can you work in Litlington outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Litlington needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work in villages like Litlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
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, which an EHO may well notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Litlington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
