Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in West Kingston
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in West Kingston on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have a canopy that drips grease and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help, from wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters onwards.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from West Kingston
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in West Kingston?
The local authority for West Kingston is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers West Kingston?
West Kingston is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
Why act early in West Kingston
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What else we do in West Kingston
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
