Grease filter exchange in Nash Street, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Nash Street, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy running with filters missing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Nash Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nash Street. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Nash Street sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nash Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church or elsewhere in Nash Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chiddingly Primary School or anywhere near Nash Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hellingly Hospital Railway is the nearest hospital to Nash Street, about 2.6 miles east.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Questions from Nash Street
Which environmental health team covers Nash Street?
Kitchens in Nash Street are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Nash Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nash Street included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Need a price for grease filter exchange? Please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Nash Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
