Grease filter exchange in Tinsley Green
Across Tinsley Green, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and a canopy that drips grease.
Work in a small place like Tinsley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Why it’s worth doing now in Tinsley Green
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a place like Tinsley Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Tinsley Green
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Tinsley Green?
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Forge Wood Primary School or anywhere near Tinsley Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tinsley Green.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Tinsley Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 9 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tinsley Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Tinsley Green is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Crawley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tinsley Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Langley Green Hospital about 1.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Tinsley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
