How we handle grease filter exchange in Robertsbridge
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. Typical jobs include blocked baffle filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
In a village or hamlet like Robertsbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Robertsbridge
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Robertsbridge?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which environmental health team covers Robertsbridge?
That’s Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Robertsbridge. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we’ll adjust it.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we will quote quickly.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Robertsbridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Robertsbridge, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. If the system at a site near Robertsbridge fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
