About grease filter exchange in East Sussex

Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are grease filters clogged with grease and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.

We record the number, size and type of your filters.
An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
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.

What you’ll pay

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Grease filter exchange around East Sussex

From Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea to its smaller places, East Sussex has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across East Sussex do not have to lose a day. Parts of East Sussex are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Eastbourne: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (about 0.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Hampden Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Between visits

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Let us know if your cooking hours increase

The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.

Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

What happens if it’s left?

Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice.

Questions to ask before booking

Managing agents and facilities teams in East Sussex

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Why it fails

Wherever you are, East Sussex included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.

Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:

Damaged filters letting grease past
Staff short of time to wash filters
Weak extraction at the canopy
Hand-washed filters that still look greasy

What affects the quote in East Sussex

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

How many systems or sites are involved
Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The scale of the work
Where the site is and how we reach it

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, please include:

Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
A few general shots of the system
When the site is open and when it’s quiet

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

East Sussex: your questions answered

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

How long will you be on site?

Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.

Do you work in East Sussex?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes East Sussex.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?

We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.

How much does a filter exchange service cost?

Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or pictures and we’ll quote, normally within one working day.

Which grease filters does the service cover?

We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
