How we handle grease filter exchange in Lambs Green
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include weak extraction at the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, across wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lambs Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Lambs Green
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A canopy running with filters missing
For schools such as Rusper Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Kitchen extracts in Lambs Green
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Lambs Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Lambs Green get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary Magdalene church, or anywhere in Lambs Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Crawley Hospital, about 2.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Lambs Green
Who inspects food businesses in Lambs Green?
Kitchens in Lambs Green are inspected by Horsham 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 cover smaller places like Lambs Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lambs Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
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.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Lambs Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, 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.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
