Bosham grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Bosham, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Poor airflow through the filters
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
About our grease filter exchange in Bosham
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you’re dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bosham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Bosham
Bosham questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bosham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bosham is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Bosham?
Yes, Bosham is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
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.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if it’s left?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. In a small place like Bosham, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bosham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
What we are called out for in Bosham
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Poor airflow through the filters
A hospital like St Richard's Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease filter exchange around Bosham
At about 2 miles from the coast, Bosham is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Bosham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bosham. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Bosham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bosham Primary School or anywhere near Bosham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
