The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Grease filter exchange in Albourne Green, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Albourne Green on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and staff short of time to wash filters.
In a village or hamlet like Albourne Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Albourne Green
Which fire authority looks after Albourne Green?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Albourne Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Albourne Green outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Albourne Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease filter exchange in Albourne Green: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Albourne Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Albourne Green falls to 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 Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Albourne Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Albourne CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we are called out for in Albourne Green
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Blocked baffle filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Albourne Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Proof of insurance
Why deal with it now?
In Albourne Green, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Somewhere as small as Albourne Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
