How we handle grease filter exchange in Bepton
Across Bepton, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you are dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Bepton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why act early in Bepton
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bepton now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Bepton
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions from Bepton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bepton?
In Bepton, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers Bepton?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Bepton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
