Grease filter exchange in Keynor Estate: the local picture
Keynor Estate lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Keynor Estate. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Keynor Estate. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sidlesham Primary School or anywhere near Keynor Estate, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, or anywhere in Keynor Estate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Keynor Estate
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy that drips grease and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
For a kitchen in or near Keynor Estate, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 explain each part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Keynor Estate
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy running with filters missing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Keynor Estate is St Richard's Hospital, about 5.2 miles north.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Keynor Estate run smoothly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Keynor Estate and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
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 book that in.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

Keynor Estate: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Keynor Estate in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Keynor Estate. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Keynor Estate?
Kitchens in Keynor Estate are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we’ll adjust it.
