What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove

About our grease filter exchange in Lunsford's Cross
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Lunsford's Cross, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In a small place like Lunsford's Cross, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Why act early in Lunsford's Cross
In Lunsford's Cross, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. In a small place like Lunsford's Cross, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- In business since 2009
- Fully insured
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What affects the quote in Lunsford's Cross
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease, kitchens and Lunsford's Cross
At about 3 miles from the coast, Lunsford's Cross is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Lunsford's Cross and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Lunsford's Cross 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.

Questions from Lunsford's Cross
Can you get to a site in Lunsford's Cross?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lunsford's Cross included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Lunsford's Cross?
Lunsford's Cross is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
