Grease filter exchange in Arundel
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about gaps where filters have been removed and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Kitchens around a place like Arundel are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Arundel.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Grease filter exchange around Arundel
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 27 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Arundel. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Arundel. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Arundel sits within the area of 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Trinity Congregational Church or elsewhere in Arundel, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Arundel station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Arundel is Arundel and District Hospital, about within half a mile north-west.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

Common questions in Arundel
Do you cover smaller places like Arundel?
Yes, Arundel is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Arundel?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Arundel. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Arundel
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. Even a site near Arundel that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
