For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Grease filter exchange in Wisborough Green
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, across baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Wisborough Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Wisborough Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Grease filter exchange in Wisborough Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Wisborough Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in Wisborough Green are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Wisborough Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Old Place Manor is about 4.4 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, or anywhere in Wisborough Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Wisborough Green
Who inspects food businesses in Wisborough Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Wisborough Green are carried out by Chichester 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 Wisborough Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Wisborough Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Wisborough Green
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wisborough Green Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What staff can safely do
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
