How we handle grease filter exchange in Ebernoe
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. 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. Common call-outs are for a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy running with filters missing, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and wall canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Ebernoe, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
What staff can safely do
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.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ebernoe
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Ebernoe
Ebernoe is about 39 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Ebernoe. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Ebernoe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Petworth House, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Ebernoe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ebernoe
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease left in baffles after washing
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Haslemere and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ebernoe, about 5.3 miles north-west.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Ebernoe
Who inspects food businesses in Ebernoe?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ebernoe. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Ebernoe?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Ebernoe keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Do you work in Ebernoe?
Yes. We work in Ebernoe and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. The timing of a visit to Ebernoe is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
