Grease filter exchange in Plumpton, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
Work in a small place like Plumpton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Plumpton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Plumpton
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.

Plumpton: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Plumpton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Plumpton included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Plumpton?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A change takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.
Why act early in Plumpton
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Planning a trip to Plumpton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Plumpton kitchens: local notes
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Plumpton. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. About 41 miles out from central London, Plumpton is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Plumpton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lewes Victoria Hospital (about 3.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Anne of Cleves House is about 4 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Plumpton is about 4 miles north-west of Lewes, in East Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Plumpton, grease filter exchange is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. Our area takes in 289 places across East Sussex, large and small. There’s also a page for Brighton, roughly 6 miles from Plumpton.
Grease filter exchange in BN7 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Further out, we also cover Seaford (12 miles south-east), Lewes (4 miles south-east), Hailsham (14 miles east), Crowborough (14 miles north-east), Uckfield (8 miles north-east) and Newhaven (9 miles south-east).
