Grease filter exchange in Muddles Green, done properly
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are missing filters in the filter bank and weak extraction at the canopy.
Work in a small place like Muddles Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

What we are called out for in Muddles Green
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church or anywhere around Muddles Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Grease filter exchange around Muddles Green
Look up Muddles Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Muddles Green. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. In Muddles Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Muddles Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Muddles Green (Horselunges Manor is about 2.2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Chiddingly Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Muddles Green
Do you work overnight in Muddles Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Muddles Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Muddles Green are carried out by Wealden council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you work in Muddles Green?
Yes. We cover Muddles Green and the rest of East Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. A fault that closes a site in a village like Muddles Green affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
