Grease filter exchange in Stonegate
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. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Stonegate, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere as small as Stonegate, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report a dripping canopy early
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Stonegate questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stonegate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stonegate included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stonegate?
Food hygiene inspections in Stonegate are carried out by Rother council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, which is where we come in.
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. If the system at a site near Stonegate fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London

How we price grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
