Grease filter exchange around Felbridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Felbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Felbridge. 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. Fire safety in Felbridge falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's Felbridge, or anywhere in Felbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Felbridge Primary School or anywhere near Felbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

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.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. In a small place like Felbridge, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after every visit
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Felbridge
Will you come out to Felbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Felbridge included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Felbridge?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Felbridge. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Felbridge, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
