Why it’s worth doing now in Bulverhythe
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange in Bulverhythe
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have filters left unwashed on busy weeks and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can help, from baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bulverhythe, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Bulverhythe
Bulverhythe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bulverhythe. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Bulverhythe are the job of Hastings council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For kitchens close to West St Leonards station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as The St Leonards Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Bulverhythe, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
