Kitchen extracts in Flansham
Flansham is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Flansham. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Flansham sits within the area of 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Flansham is Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School or anywhere near Flansham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Bilsham Chapel or anywhere around Flansham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange in Flansham
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. We’re often asked to deal with grease building up behind the canopy filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, on school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
Work in a small place like Flansham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Flansham questions
Will you come out to Flansham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Flansham out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Flansham. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Flansham, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
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 grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Somewhere as small as Flansham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
