Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Mott's Mill
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with blocked baffle filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Mott's Mill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Mott's Mill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Mott's Mill kitchens: local notes
At about 30 miles from central London, Mott's Mill sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Mott's Mill get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Mott's Mill, such as Groombridge Place about 1.6 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Groombridge St Thomas' Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why it’s worth doing now in Mott's Mill
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Mott's Mill, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Mott's Mill
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy running with filters missing
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Thomas the Apostle, or anywhere in Mott's Mill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What affects the quote in Mott's Mill
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Mott's Mill: your questions answered
Can you come to Mott's Mill after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Mott's Mill keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Mott's Mill?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mott's Mill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
