- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
When to call us in Selsey
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Seal Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Grease filter exchange in Selsey, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Selsey on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, we can help.
In a town like Selsey, most of the kitchen extracts we’re asked about belong to restaurants, cafés, pubs, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: 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. In a town like Selsey, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Selsey kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Selsey, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 22 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways in Selsey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Selsey sits within the area of 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.
Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Selsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Selsey
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Selsey in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Selsey. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Selsey?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Selsey. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Selsey, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Catching it early in Selsey means you choose the day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
