About our grease filter exchange in Steven's Crouch
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Steven's Crouch, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about a canopy running with filters missing and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Steven's Crouch before we set off.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Make sure no filter is left out
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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.
