Your questions about grease filter exchange in Newpound Common
Can you work in Newpound Common outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Newpound Common does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Newpound Common be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Newpound Common, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Newpound Common
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy that drips grease.
In a small place like Newpound Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Newpound Common before we set off.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Newpound Common
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Blocked baffle filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wisborough Green Primary School or anywhere near Newpound Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote

- How they set the interval to the next visit

What grease filter exchange looks like in Newpound Common

Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Newpound Common. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- 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.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. In a small place like Newpound Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
