Grease filter exchange in Northease
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about filters left unwashed on busy weeks and gaps where filters have been removed.
For a kitchen in or near Northease, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Northease
Northease is covered by 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. We cover Northease, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Priory School or anywhere near Northease, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Monk's House is about 0.7 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Northease is about 3 miles south of Lewes, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Northease, grease filter exchange is something we can help with.

Northease: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Northease?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Northease. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in villages like Northease?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Northease is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Northease before we set off.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Common problems we fix in Northease
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Northease, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- 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 in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. It’s simpler to plan the work at Northease now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
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.
