What affects the quote in Punnett's Town
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease filter exchange in Punnett's Town
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease left in baffles after washing and damaged filters letting grease past, across mesh filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Punnett's Town, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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 to call us in Punnett's Town
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital, about 5.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A fault that closes a site in a village like Punnett's Town affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

Grease filter exchange in Punnett's Town: the local picture
Kitchens in Punnett's Town get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. 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. Punnett's Town sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Punnetts Town Community Primary School or anywhere near Punnett's Town, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bateman's is about 3.6 miles north-east), access may need planning.

What staff can safely do
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Questions from Punnett's Town
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Punnett's Town?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Punnett's Town. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Punnett's Town after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Punnett's Town can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Punnett's Town, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
