Managing agents and facilities teams in Adur
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease filter exchange in Adur
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Adur, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. We are often asked to deal with weak extraction at the canopy and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, on island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
Work in a small place like Adur starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Adur questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Adur?
Food hygiene inspections in Adur are carried out by Adur council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Adur?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Adur. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you cover Adur?
Yes. We work in Adur and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Always run the extract while cooking
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
What we are called out for in Adur
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like The Sir Robert Woodard Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

Grease filter exchange around Adur
Sea air reaches Adur, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Adur and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Kitchens in Adur get their food hygiene inspections from Adur council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St Nicolas' Church, or anywhere in Adur, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Portslade Manor is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Visits to a village like Adur are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
