Grease Filter Exchange in Bachelor's Bump
Our technicians work in Bachelor's Bump on grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A canopy running with filters missing
What happens if it’s left?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bachelor's Bump rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- In business since 2009

- We are fully insured
How we handle grease filter exchange in Bachelor's Bump
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and poor airflow through the filters, across restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Bachelor's Bump starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bachelor's Bump
Which council inspects kitchens in Bachelor's Bump?
Kitchens in Bachelor's Bump are inspected by Hastings council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bachelor's Bump?
Fire safety enforcement in Bachelor's Bump is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How long will you be on site?
On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What we are called out for in Bachelor's Bump
Wherever you are, Bachelor's Bump included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Where a hall near Christ Apostolic Church Hastings, or anywhere in Bachelor's Bump, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though usually at a gentler pace.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bachelor's Bump knowing what to expect.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the quote in Bachelor's Bump
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
