Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Broadwater
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

How we handle grease filter exchange in Broadwater
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and filter washing that keeps being missed.
In a smaller place like Broadwater, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease, kitchens and Broadwater
Broadwater is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The Food Standards Agency lists about 68 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 10 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadwater. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Worthing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broadwater. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Broadwater CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Worthing Hospital about 0.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a place like Broadwater are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
FAQs for Broadwater
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadwater?
Kitchens in Broadwater are inspected by Worthing council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after Broadwater?
Broadwater is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A change takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Why deal with it now?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. When a site near Broadwater shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Broadwater
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Broadwater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
