- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Poynings
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Poynings on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy and missing filters in the filter bank.
Somewhere as small as Poynings, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Poynings
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Poynings: your questions answered
Can you work in Poynings outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Poynings does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Poynings?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Poynings. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
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 advise on what to do next.
Do you work in Poynings?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Poynings included.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Grease filter exchange in Poynings: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Poynings and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Poynings. 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. Poynings sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Poynings, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Portslade Manor, about 3.7 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Poynings; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Poynings.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Common problems we fix in Poynings
Long cooking hours in Poynings or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
A hospital like Southlands Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
