Grease, kitchens and Kent Street
Fire safety in Kent Street falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Kent Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Around Kent Street, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.

Grease filter exchange in Kent Street
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right, from wall canopies, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Kent Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
In Kent Street, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

Questions from Kent Street
Which fire service covers Kent Street?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kent Street. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Kent Street outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Kent Street keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

When to call us in Kent Street
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

- When the next visit should be, and why
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us.

- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- 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

How we price grease filter exchange
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
The cost 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.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
