Grease filter exchange in Loxwood, West Sussex

- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
How we handle grease filter exchange in Loxwood
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
In a small place like Loxwood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

FAQs for Loxwood
Do you work in villages like Loxwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Loxwood is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Loxwood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Loxwood keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That is how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Loxwood.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A planned visit to Loxwood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Loxwood kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Loxwood falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Loxwood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Loxwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Loxwood Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
