What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease filter exchange in Hampden Park, done properly
In Hampden Park, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
In a smaller place like Hampden Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease filter exchange in Hampden Park: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Hampden Park is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hampden Park, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Hampden Park. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Hampden Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Hampden Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Common questions in Hampden Park
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hampden Park?
That’s Eastbourne council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hampden Park. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Hampden Park?
It can. Hampden Park is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does the visit take?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Hampden Park at a time that suits you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What we are called out for in Hampden Park
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy that drips grease
- Blocked baffle filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eastbourne District General Hospital (about 0.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Comparing quotes
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a place like Hampden Park, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
