Common questions in Worth
Do you cover smaller places like Worth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Worth included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Worth?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Worth. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Where do the greasy filters go?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What happens to the waste?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we will adjust it.
About our grease filter exchange in Worth
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you are dealing with damaged filters letting grease past and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right, from wall canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
In a smaller place like Worth, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What we are called out for in Worth
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicholas' Church or elsewhere in Worth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Worth is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Worth
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Worth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Worth. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Worth. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Worth is Crawley Hospital, about 2.2 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Maidenbower Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Booking now means the visit to Worth is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
