Grease filter exchange in Bilsham
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. 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. We’re often asked to deal with damaged filters letting grease past and blocked baffle filters, on restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bilsham and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Why act early in Bilsham
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. If the system at a site near Bilsham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, 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 you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Full insurance on every job
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bilsham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Questions from Bilsham
Can you get to a site in Bilsham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after Bilsham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bilsham is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
When to call us in Bilsham
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A canopy that drips grease
Where a hall near Bilsham Chapel, or anywhere in Bilsham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bilsham. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bilsham. 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.
