About our grease filter exchange in Mountfield
An exchange visit in Mountfield does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include staff short of time to wash filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Mountfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Mountfield
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Vinehall School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What else we do in Mountfield
Mountfield: your questions answered
Can the work in Mountfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Mountfield needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mountfield?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mountfield. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Mountfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Grease, kitchens and Mountfield
Environmental health officers from Rother council inspect food businesses in Mountfield. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Mountfield falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Mountfield (Durhamford Manor is about 2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Mountfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
