Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Langney
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are gaps where filters have been removed and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Kitchens around a place like Langney are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Langney
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common questions in Langney
Who is the fire and rescue service for Langney?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Langney. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Langney?
Food hygiene inspections in Langney are carried out by Eastbourne council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we will adjust it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, or we’ll check on the first visit.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A site near Langney that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a site near Langney, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

What affects the quote in Langney
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- 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
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Langney
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Richard or anywhere around Langney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
