Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in High Salvington

Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. We are often asked to deal with staff short of time to wash filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, on restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.

In a smaller place like High Salvington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How the visit works

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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In a smaller place like High Salvington, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.

  1. We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
  4. We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
  5. Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Which fire service covers High Salvington?

That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in High Salvington?

Kitchens in High Salvington are inspected by Worthing council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

High Salvington kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs across High Salvington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. High Salvington 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. In High Salvington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Worthing council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter or elsewhere in High Salvington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Vale School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Let us know if your cooking hours increase
  • Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged

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.

Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.

What affects the quote in High Salvington

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • How big the system is

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The postcode and the type of business

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in High Salvington

Wherever you are, High Salvington included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • Grease dripping from the canopy
  • Filter washing that keeps being missed
  • Poor airflow through the filters
  • Grease filters clogged with grease

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 3.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • What insurance they carry

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Why act early in High Salvington

Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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 will go through it with you.
