In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Oxley's Green
An exchange visit in Oxley's Green doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a canopy that drips grease, across mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters.
In a small place like Oxley's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Oxley's Green
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
Questions from Oxley's Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Oxley's Green?
That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Oxley's Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Oxley's Green?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Oxley's Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Kitchen extracts in Oxley's Green
It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Oxley's Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Oxley's Green falls to 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or elsewhere in Oxley's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bateman's is about 1.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Common problems we fix in Oxley's Green
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 5.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
