What affects the quote in Hove
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hove
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are grease collecting in the filter channels and damaged filters letting grease past.
Around a town like Hove, extract cleaning normally means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 is our job.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
What we’re called out for in Hove
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Hove, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Hove questions
Do you work at weekends in Hove?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Hove?
Kitchens in Hove are inspected by Brighton and Hove council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Hove is better off booking it now.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Hove.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
