About our grease filter exchange in Storrington
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about missing filters in the filter bank and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
In a smaller place like Storrington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a smaller place like Storrington, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Storrington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in Storrington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Storrington sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Storrington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Storrington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Storrington, such as Parham House about 2 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. For schools such as Storrington Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Storrington: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Storrington in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Storrington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Storrington?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Storrington. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
