Pulborough kitchens: local notes
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pulborough, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Fire safety in Pulborough falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Pulborough are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pulborough (Old Place Manor is about 0.4 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Pulborough, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

About our grease filter exchange in Pulborough
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, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and a canopy that drips grease.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Pulborough gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Common problems we fix in Pulborough
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date

What else we do in Pulborough
How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Pulborough questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pulborough?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Pulborough?
In Pulborough, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Pulborough
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Pulborough at a time that suits you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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, which is where we come in.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Pulborough can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
