Our grease filter exchange service in Brighton and Hove

Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Common call-outs are for bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease collecting in the filter channels, on mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies.

We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Grease filter exchange around Brighton and Hove

In Brighton and Hove, a busy kitchen in a place such as Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

We work across London and the South East, and Brighton and Hove is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in Brighton and Hove. Brighton and Hove includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Brighton: Commuter trade near London Road (Brighton) station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brighton is Brighton General Hospital, about 0.7 miles east.

What affects the quote in Brighton and Hove

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

How many systems or sites are involved
The scale of the work
How easy every part is to reach
One-off work versus a regular cycle

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
A few general shots of the system
The times we could work without disrupting the site
Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Why it fails

Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters don’t sit flush and grease passes round them.

Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:

Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Weak extraction at the canopy
Gaps where filters have been removed

Why act early?

For any kitchen in Brighton and Hove, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner.

What your quote should include

What paperwork you get at the end
Whether they’re fully insured
Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
A canopy that needs a proper clean
Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control

Brighton and Hove: your questions answered

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

How long does the visit take?

The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

What does grease filter exchange cost?

Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.

Which records should we keep?

Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
