Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Burstow
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Burstow on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Burstow, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Burstow.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Burstow
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses across Burstow and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Burstow. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Burstow. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 3.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Burstow, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Oakwood School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
