About our grease filter exchange in Bevendean
In Bevendean, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include a canopy that drips grease and grease collecting in the filter channels, across baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bevendean gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Brighton and Hove. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a site near Bevendean, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

Bevendean questions
Which fire authority looks after Bevendean?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Bevendean during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bevendean. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Do you work in Bevendean?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Bevendean included.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Bevendean
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Nativity Community Project or elsewhere in Bevendean, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
What happens if it’s left?
In Bevendean, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. When a site near Bevendean shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Bevendean
Bevendean lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 30 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bevendean. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Bevendean sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Bevendean Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Brighton General Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
