Grease Filter Exchange in Twineham
Grease filter exchange across Twineham and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Grease filter exchange in Twineham, done properly
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Grease, kitchens and Twineham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Twineham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Twineham get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Twineham falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around Twineham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like The Dene Hospital, about 2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Twineham
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure no filter is left out
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Twineham: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Twineham?
Twineham is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Twineham within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Twineham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Twineham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading

Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Somewhere as small as Twineham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 will price it together.

When to call us in Twineham
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Blocked baffle filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
School kitchens, at schools like Twineham CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
