About our grease filter exchange in Crosspost
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about filter washing that keeps being missed and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Work in a small place like Crosspost starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Crosspost
Which fire service covers Crosspost?
Crosspost is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Crosspost outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

When to call us in Crosspost
Wherever you are, Crosspost included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Dene Hospital about 2.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. In a small place like Crosspost, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Crosspost
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crosspost. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Crosspost. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Crosspost sits within the area of 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.
Ockenden Manor, about 3.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Crosspost; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
