Kitchen extracts in Slindon
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Slindon, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Slindon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Slindon. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Slindon CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Slindon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Grease filter exchange in Slindon
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with blocked baffle filters and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right.
In a small place like Slindon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Slindon
Wherever you are, Slindon included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Bignor Roman Villa is about 4.3 miles north), access may need planning.

Other services in Slindon
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Slindon
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Questions from Slindon
Do you work overnight in Slindon?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Slindon keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Slindon?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Slindon. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Visits to a village like Slindon are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Leave it or put it right?

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 any work starts.
