How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
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 send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Selsfield Common
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include filters that leave gaps in the canopy and weak extraction at the canopy, on wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Selsfield Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, 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.

Selsfield Common questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Selsfield Common?
The local authority for Selsfield Common is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Selsfield Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Selsfield Common included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a village or hamlet like Selsfield Common, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Selsfield Common
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Selsfield Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
Why act early in Selsfield Common
In Selsfield Common, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A fault that closes a site in a village like Selsfield Common affects everyone who depends on it.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Grease, kitchens and Selsfield Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Selsfield Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. In Selsfield Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Selsfield Common is 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.
