Grease filter exchange for sites in Peacehaven

Grease filter exchange in Peacehaven, done properly

Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged filters letting grease past and weak extraction at the canopy, on baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.

Kitchens around a place like Peacehaven are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.

The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Peacehaven

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • How big the system is
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Your opening hours decide when we come to Peacehaven, not ours.

  1. First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
  4. Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
  5. Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

How to prepare

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Grease filter exchange in Peacehaven: the local picture

At about 1 mile from the coast, Peacehaven is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Peacehaven. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Peacehaven get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

School kitchens, at schools like Peacehaven Community School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital (about 2.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What a clean won’t put right

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
  • Grease deep in the extract system
  • A canopy that needs a proper clean

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Peacehaven

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Why act early in Peacehaven

When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Around Peacehaven, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Peacehaven

Which fire authority looks after Peacehaven?

It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Peacehaven. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Peacehaven?

Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Peacehaven gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Common problems we fix in Peacehaven

Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
  • Grease building up behind the canopy filters
  • A canopy that drips grease
  • Gaps where filters have been removed

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Monk's House is about 2.9 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • What records you will receive afterwards
