About our grease filter exchange in Bedham
An exchange visit in Bedham does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about grease left in baffles after washing and grease collecting in the filter channels.
In a small place like Bedham, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
What staff can safely do
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Bedham questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Bedham?
Food hygiene inspections in Bedham are carried out by Chichester council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Bedham after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bedham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bedham
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Bedham
Bedham is about 42 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Bedham is covered by 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.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bedham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

The process

All told, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Bedham knowing what to expect.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Bedham
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 2.2 miles east), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need grease filter exchange in Bedham, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
