Grease filter exchange in West Sussex: how it works

An exchange visit in West Sussex doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.

We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

How we quote

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange across West Sussex: local notes

From Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to its smaller places, West Sussex has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

West Sussex is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in West Sussex. Parts of West Sussex are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.

Crawley: A kitchen near Crawley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Three Bridges Junior School or anywhere near Crawley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Honest limits

Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:

Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

What the work involves, part by part

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.

The plenum

The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Signs you need grease filter exchange

Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.

Look out for any of the following:

Staff short of time to wash filters
Grease filters clogged with grease
Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Grease collecting in the filter channels

Why act early?

Some kitchens in West Sussex wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic.

What your quote should include

If they look at the system before pricing
Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Whether they’re fully insured
When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Questions from West Sussex

Do you cover West Sussex?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, West Sussex included.

Which grease filters does the service cover?

The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will confirm it on site.

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. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

What happens to the dirty filters?

We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.

What does TR19 mean?

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

Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?

Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
