Grease filter exchange in Borden
An exchange visit in Borden doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. Common call-outs are for filter washing that keeps being missed and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, on island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Borden, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Borden
Can the work in Borden be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Borden keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Borden?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Borden is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we’ll adjust it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How we price grease filter exchange
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Borden
Some kitchens in Borden wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Planning a trip to Borden ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Borden
We cover Borden, about 46 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Borden are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Cowdray House, about 4.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Borden; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Borden, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 4.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Borden is about 5 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Borden can be planned properly.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
