Adversane: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Adversane?
Fire safety enforcement in Adversane is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Adversane?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
About our grease filter exchange in Adversane
An exchange visit in Adversane doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease building up behind the canopy filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Adversane, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When to call us in Adversane
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Historic houses near Adversane, such as Old Place Manor about 3.2 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking

What else we do in Adversane
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Restaurants and pubs

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Grease filter exchange in Adversane: the local picture
Adversane sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Adversane. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Adversane 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.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
