Grease filter exchange in Climping, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
Somewhere as small as Climping, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why it’s worth doing now in Climping
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Climping rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Climping
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Climping?
Fire safety enforcement in Climping is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Climping?
It can. Climping is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Grease filter exchange around Climping
The coast is only about 1 mile from Climping. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Climping, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Climping, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arundel and District Hospital (about 3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Climping, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Climping, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
