How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tile Hurst.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Tile Hurst
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Tile Hurst on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can put it right, from baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies onwards.
In a small place like Tile Hurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Tile Hurst
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs, bars and clubs registered in and around Tile Hurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Tile Hurst 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. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Tile Hurst. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grovelands Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hellingly Hospital Railway about 1.6 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Questions from Tile Hurst
Can you get to a site in Tile Hurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Tile Hurst outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Tile Hurst keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote, typically within one working day.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. If the system at a site near Tile Hurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
