About our grease filter exchange in Aldwick
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. Common call-outs are for hand-washed filters that still look greasy and gaps where filters have been removed, on wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs.
In a smaller place like Aldwick, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Aldwick
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. When a site near Aldwick shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange in Aldwick: the local picture
Aldwick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Aldwick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Aldwick. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in Aldwick are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Richard’s Church or elsewhere in Aldwick, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nyewood CofE Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Aldwick is about 1 mile south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Aldwick gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Aldwick among them. Portsmouth is in our area too, about 16 miles from Aldwick.

Around Aldwick
Around Aldwick, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near West Park, The Regis School and The Regis School, among other places.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Aldwick: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Aldwick be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Aldwick. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Aldwick within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Aldwick is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a place like Aldwick are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
