How we handle grease filter exchange in Salvington
In Salvington, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have a canopy running with filters missing and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Salvington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in Salvington
Will you come out to Salvington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Salvington?
It can. Salvington is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How we price grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Salvington is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Salvington

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
What we are called out for in Salvington
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
School kitchens, at schools like Durrington Infant School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Salvington
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Salvington kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Salvington, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 64 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 56 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Salvington, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Environmental health officers from Worthing council inspect food businesses in Salvington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Symphorian's Church or elsewhere in Salvington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Salvington (Ecclesden Manor is about 3.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
