Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Rusher's Cross
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, across baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
For a kitchen in or near Rusher's Cross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Rusher's Cross
Do you work at weekends in Rusher's Cross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rusher's Cross?
Food hygiene inspections in Rusher's Cross are carried out by Wealden council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we will confirm it on site.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like Rusher's Cross are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Rusher's Cross
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Blocked baffle filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Historic houses near Rusher's Cross, such as Wadhurst Castle about 2.6 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Before booking anyone

- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
