Grease filter exchange across Slindon Common

Slindon Common: your questions answered

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Slindon Common?

Food hygiene inspections in Slindon Common are carried out by Arun council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Do you clean school canteen extracts around Slindon Common out of term?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Slindon Common. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

What happens to the waste?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Is Slindon Common in your area?

Yes. Slindon Common is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Slindon Common

Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help.

In a village or hamlet like Slindon Common, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the visit works

Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Slindon Common before we set off.

  1. We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
  4. Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
  5. If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Kitchen extracts in Slindon Common

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Slindon Common. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Slindon Common. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Slindon Common get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. 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.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Slindon Common, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Slindon CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we are called out for in Slindon Common

Wherever you are, Slindon Common included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Gaps where filters have been removed
  • Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
  • Weak extraction at the canopy
  • Filters so greasy the air can barely pass

A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 2.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part

Questions to ask before booking

When it’s something else

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
  • Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
  • Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What the work covers

  • Restaurants and pubs
  • Baffle filters
  • Wall canopies
  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Mesh filters
  • Island canopies

Why deal with it now?

For any kitchen in Slindon Common, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Planning a trip to Slindon Common ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What you get with us

  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
  • Trading since 2009
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What staff can safely do

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

How we price grease filter exchange

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • The times the site is available
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • What state the system is in

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
