East Sussex · Grease filter exchange
Mayfield grease filter exchange
We cover Mayfield for a scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
About our grease filter exchange in Mayfield
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about hand-washed filters that still look greasy and damaged filters letting grease past.
Work in a small place like Mayfield starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Other services in Mayfield
Do you need grease filter exchange in Mayfield?
Kitchens in Mayfield, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
A hospital like Crowborough War Memorial Hospital, about 5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Grease filter exchange around Mayfield
Mayfield, about 37 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Mayfield are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Wadhurst Castle, about 4.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Mayfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Mayfield is about 5 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. From the centre of Mayfield to the outskirts, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Mayfield is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work for grease filter exchange. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page, about 21 miles away.
All of TN20 is covered for grease filter exchange, from busy streets to back roads. That includes premises on High Street, Station Road and Star Lane and nearby roads. We also cover Wellbrook (1 mile south-west), Coggins Mill (1 mile north-east), Woolbridge (1 mile west), Argos Hill (1 mile north-west) and Rusher's Cross (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-east), Lewes (15 miles south-west), Hailsham (11 miles south), Crowborough (5 miles north-west), Uckfield (8 miles south-west) and Polegate (14 miles south).
Local landmarks in Mayfield
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Leonards-Mayfield School and The Royal Oak Inn. The nearest railway station is Crowborough station, roughly 3.6 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Crowborough Country Park.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens if it’s left?
In Mayfield, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after each visit

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Questions from Mayfield
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mayfield?
Kitchens in Mayfield are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Mayfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Mayfield keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
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.
Do you cover Mayfield?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Mayfield.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Mayfield, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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 so you know the cost before work begins.
