Questions from Waldron
Do you cover smaller places like Waldron?
Yes, Waldron is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Waldron?
That is Wealden council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Waldron. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Most changes take less than an hour in most kitchens, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Waldron
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across island canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Waldron starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Waldron before we set off.
- 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.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

What affects the quote in Waldron
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Why it’s worth doing now in Waldron
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. If the system at a site near Waldron fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Kitchen extracts in Waldron
The fire and rescue service for Waldron is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
