How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Warbleton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Warbleton on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. Common call-outs are for grease filters clogged with grease and poor airflow through the filters, on wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Warbleton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Warbleton
Warbleton is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. About 42 miles out from central London, Warbleton is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Heathfield Community College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 4 miles south), access may need planning.

Warbleton: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Warbleton?
Warbleton is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Warbleton?
Yes. Warbleton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Warbleton knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in Warbleton
Common problems we fix in Warbleton
Long cooking hours in Warbleton or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Blocked baffle filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hellingly Hospital (about 3.6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep every filter in place during service
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
