East Sussex · Grease filter exchange
Ringmer grease filter exchange
We cover Ringmer for a scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Leave it or put it right?
In Ringmer, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Ringmer at a time that suits you.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

About our grease filter exchange in Ringmer
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We are often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, on baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Kitchens around a place like Ringmer are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Ringmer?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
A hospital like Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report a dripping canopy early
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Grease filter exchange around Ringmer
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ringmer. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Ringmer is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Ringmer are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Ringmer, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ringmer (Glyndebourne is about 1.1 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Questions from Ringmer
Do you work at weekends in Ringmer?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Ringmer can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Ringmer?
Ringmer is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Around Ringmer, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
