Why it’s worth doing now in Coneyhurst
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
Grease filter exchange in Coneyhurst, done properly
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and people most often call us about grease left in baffles after washing and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Coneyhurst kitchens: local notes
Look up Coneyhurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Coneyhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Coneyhurst. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Coneyhurst is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Weald School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When to call us in Coneyhurst
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Blocked baffle filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Coneyhurst (Old Place Manor is about 4.8 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. For a village or hamlet like Coneyhurst, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
