Grease filter exchange in Turners Hill, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How the visit 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. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Turners Hill knowing what to expect.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Turners Hill

What we are called out for in Turners Hill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Turners Hill CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
Grease filter exchange around Turners Hill
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Turners Hill, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in Turners Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Turners Hill falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Turners Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Turners Hill (Gravetye Manor is about 1.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What else we do in Turners Hill
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Turners Hill and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Turners Hill: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Turners Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Turners Hill is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Turners Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Turners Hill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: 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.
