The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
About our grease filter exchange in East Harting
In East Harting, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near East Harting, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in East Harting
Can a school canteen extract in East Harting be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around East Harting, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in East Harting?
Food hygiene inspections in East Harting are carried out by Chichester council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will confirm it on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we will adjust it.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Grease, kitchens and East Harting
Kitchens in East Harting get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for East Harting is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel, or anywhere in East Harting, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 1.7 miles south-west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East Harting, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Other services in East Harting
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
