How we handle grease filter exchange in Slinfold
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Slinfold, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Typical jobs include staff short of time to wash filters and grease dripping from the canopy, across island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Slinfold
Long cooking hours in Slinfold or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Slinfold CofE Primary School or anywhere near Slinfold, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Common questions in Slinfold
Is Slinfold within the area you cover?
Yes, Slinfold is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can school kitchens in Slinfold be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Slinfold, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
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.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Slinfold
Grease, kitchens and Slinfold
In Slinfold, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. We cover Slinfold, about 33 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horsham Hospital is the nearest hospital to Slinfold, about 3.5 miles east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Slinfold, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens if it’s left?
In Slinfold, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Slinfold is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Slinfold are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
