Grease, kitchens and Haslingbourne
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Haslingbourne. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Haslingbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Haslingbourne sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Petworth House, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Haslingbourne; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Haslingbourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

About our grease filter exchange in Haslingbourne
In Haslingbourne, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Haslingbourne starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Haslingbourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Haslingbourne
Do you cover smaller places like Haslingbourne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Haslingbourne is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Haslingbourne?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Haslingbourne. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
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 you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though normally at a gentler pace.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
Leave it or put it right?
In Haslingbourne, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. If the system at a site near Haslingbourne fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
