Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Upper Beeding
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are missing filters in the filter bank and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Work in a small place like Upper Beeding starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What affects the quote in Upper Beeding
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Upper Beeding, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Upper Beeding
Who inspects food businesses in Upper Beeding?
Food hygiene inspections in Upper Beeding are carried out by Horsham council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Upper Beeding?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Why deal with it now?
In Upper Beeding, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Upper Beeding is calmer for everyone.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
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.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

Part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
