About our grease filter exchange in Hanover
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy that drips grease and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
Around a smaller place like Hanover, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Even a site near Hanover that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
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.
Parts of the system we cover

Grease filter exchange in Hanover: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Hanover is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 243 pubs, bars and clubs and about 42 hotels and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hanover. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Brighton and Hove council inspect food businesses in Hanover. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Elm Grove Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Brighton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hanover, about 0.6 miles east.

FAQs for Hanover
Who inspects food businesses in Hanover?
In Hanover, it’s Brighton and Hove council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hanover out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Hanover, the Food Standards Agency lists about 49 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A site near Hanover normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

When to call us in Hanover
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
A kitchen near Brighton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
