Grease filter exchange in Faygate
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Faygate
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Faygate. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Faygate are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Commuter trade near Faygate station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Francis' Church or elsewhere in Faygate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Around Faygate
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Target Hill Park and The Holmbush Inn and the streets around them. Faygate has its own railway station: Faygate station. Nearby you’ll also find Crawley Hospital (3.2 miles north-east) and County Mall (3.6 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Warnham LNR and Tilgate Lake.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. 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 Faygate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Faygate
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Faygate?
In Faygate, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Faygate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
