Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Stanmer
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. 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. Typical jobs include blocked baffle filters and a canopy running with filters missing, across school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Stanmer 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Stanmer questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stanmer in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Stanmer. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Stanmer?
That’s Brighton and Hove council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stanmer. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Stanmer, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system

Stanmer kitchens: local notes
There are about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Stanmer and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. The fire and rescue service for Stanmer is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Stanmer are the job of Brighton and Hove council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Stanmer Church or anywhere around Stanmer, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Coldean Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stanmer affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we’re called out for in Stanmer
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
For kitchens close to Falmer station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
