Grease Filter Exchange in Gossops Green
One call covers grease filter exchange in Gossops Green, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a place like Gossops Green, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
About our grease filter exchange in Gossops Green
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and weak extraction at the canopy, across restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters.
In a smaller place like Gossops Green, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
FAQs for Gossops Green
Which environmental health team covers Gossops Green?
In Gossops Green, it’s Crawley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Gossops Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Gossops Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Gossops Green?
Wherever you are, Gossops Green included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A canopy that drips grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
For schools such as Ifield Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Gossops Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 91 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Gossops Green. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Fire safety in Gossops Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Gossops Green. 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 St Peter's, or anywhere in Gossops Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Ifield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Around Gossops Green, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London
