Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in High Cross
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. Typical jobs include gaps where filters have been removed and grease dripping from the canopy, on restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
Work in a small place like High Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

High Cross questions
Do you cover smaller places like High Cross?
Yes. High Cross is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in High Cross?
In High Cross, it’s Horsham 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like High Cross, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
In High Cross, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
High Cross kitchens: local notes
High Cross, about 39 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. High Cross is covered by 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 cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to High Cross is The Dene Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-east. For schools such as Albourne CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in High Cross, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
High Cross is about 4 miles west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex. We provide grease filter exchange for commercial premises of every kind in High Cross and the rest of West Sussex.
