Grease Filter Exchange in Castle Town
One call covers grease filter exchange in Castle Town, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Grease filter exchange in Castle Town, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right.
In a small place like Castle Town, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
If you need grease filter exchange in Castle Town, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In a small place like Castle Town, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Castle Town
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Castle Town, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Castle Town. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Castle Town is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Questions from Castle Town
Will you come out to Castle Town?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Castle Town is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Castle Town?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Common problems we fix in Castle Town
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Botolph's Church or anywhere around Castle Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
