Grease filter exchange in Sidlesham
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. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you are dealing with staff short of time to wash filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Sidlesham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Sidlesham, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. With notice, the visit to Sidlesham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. The timing of a visit to Sidlesham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease, kitchens and Sidlesham
Sea air reaches Sidlesham, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Sidlesham. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Sidlesham. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sidlesham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or anywhere around Sidlesham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Sidlesham is about 3 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Sidlesham, grease filter exchange is something we can help with.

What we are called out for in Sidlesham
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Richard's Hospital about 4.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- What hours they’ll be on site
Questions from Sidlesham
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sidlesham?
Sidlesham is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you cover smaller places like Sidlesham?
Yes. Sidlesham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
