- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop

About our grease filter exchange in Mill Corner
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about drips falling from the filters onto equipment and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
Somewhere as small as Mill Corner, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why act early in Mill Corner
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a small place like Mill Corner, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Mill Corner
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Mill Corner?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mill Corner. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mill Corner?
The local authority for Mill Corner is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
