Grease filter exchange in Boxgrove, West Sussex

Grease filter exchange in Boxgrove: the local picture

Look up Boxgrove on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Boxgrove, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Boxgrove sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boxgrove. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Goodwood House is about 1.5 miles north-west), access may need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Boxgrove CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize or anywhere around Boxgrove, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

For landlords and multi-site operators

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.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What your team can do, and what needs us

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’ll take a look and give you a fixed 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.
